KYIV, Feb 24 – Ukraine in 2019 exported 55,600 tons of honey worth more than $100 million, which is 12.7% more than in 2018, Valeriy Kureiko, the co-founder of the Medovy Bdzholiar apiary (the Znatny Med brand), has said at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine.
"In 2006-2010, honey export was small: from 3,000 to 7,000 tons per year. Since 2011, it began to grow: for example, in 2014-2015 it already amounted to more than 36,000 tons, and exceeded 56,000 tons in 2016. The most successful year for exporters was 2017, when 67,800 tons of honey was exported," he said.
