Balparmak: Turkish Pine Honey Registered with Geographical Indication

During the "Pine Honey Harvest" event held by Balparmak in Muğla, a new C4 analysis method that facilitates the geographical indication registration and export of Turkish Pine Honey was introduced. Pine honey, one of the unique types of honey produced in Turkey, is produced in the red pine forests along the Aegean coast, accounting for approximately 92% of the total production worldwide. This special honey, produced by the Anatolian bee ecotype in Muğla, contributes to the national economy both in terms of production volume and commercial value. Experts state that Turkish Pine Honey, due to its natural components, is a candidate for the medicinal honey category and has the potential to compete with Manuka honey.
