Mondulkiri Wild Honey
Mondulkiri Wild Honey, harvested from the Apis dorsata bee, a giant honeybee, in the forests of Mondulkiri province in eastern Cambodia, is renowned for its unique taste and natural purity. Produced by wild bees foraging on diverse flowers from the untouched forests, the honey boasts a rich, floral aroma and smooth texture, prized for its distinctive flavor and health benefits. The region’s diverse ecosystem, with its mix of tropical flowers and herbs, contributes to the honey’s exceptional qualities, making it highly sought after both locally and internationally.
On January 29, 2021, it received the Geographical Indication (GI) certificate in Cambodia from the Ministry of Commerce, ensuring that only honey produced in Mondulkiri can be marketed as Mondulkiri Wild Honey. This certification further assures its premium quality. The Mondulkiri wild honey industry comprises approximately 300 honey harvesters, with 73 registered members in the Mondulkiri Wild Bee Conservation Association (MWBCA). It is primarily exported to markets in Europe.
