The purpose of the London Honey Awards is to inform honey producers, beekeepers, processors, and retailers to preserve and to ameliorate the quality of their branded product by promoting high-quality honey products in every aspect of the spectrum of its use and consumption.
The Embassy of Georgia to the UK announced it would continue promotion of Georgian honey on the British market, which is the fifth largest market for honey imports in the world.
10 tonnes Georgian honey has been exported to Italy, says the National Food Agency.
Honey from Ninotsminda, the Samtskhe-Javakheti region has been added to the list of geographical indications.
The presentation of the publication Georgian National Guidelines for the Production of Quality Honey was held at Expo Georgia on November 14.
