Around half of the honey produced and exported in Myanmar originates from jujube trees. Other crops that also produce honey include niger, sesame, sunflower, three-step flower, kapok (white silk cotton tree), pigeon-pea, forest flower, and lychee. Wildflowers are estimated to account for about 10% of honey production.
About half of the honey produced in Myanmar originates from jujube trees (Ziziphus jujube). Other crops include niger (Guizotia abysainica), sesame, sunflower, three-step flower (Leucas cephalotes), kapok (white silk cotton tree), pigeon-pea, forest flower, and lychee. About 10% of honey is estimated to stem from wildflowers. A fairly new crop that is used for honeydew production is from rubber trees. There is also expected to be a high future potential for honey from avocado and macadamia, with new plantations that started in 2012 in the Shan Highlands, in Eastern Myanmar.
