Date: 17.09.2026 10:39 The organic honey harvest in Akçadağ, Malatya has concluded, with prices reaching 1,500 TL per kilogram, leading to a quick sell-out.

In the Akçadağ district of Malatya, the honey harvest has wrapped up in areas rich in floral diversity. Despite a low yield this season, organic honey sold at 1,500 TL per kilogram was quickly purchased.

Producer Necmettin Kırteke, who manages 150 hives in the Kırtekeler village of Doğanlar, noted the end of the production season. He highlighted the unique aroma and red color of the honey, attributed to the region's cool climate and diverse flora, including thyme and other plants. However, he mentioned that climate change has led to a lower yield this year.
