The rising sourcing destinations for honey are mostly located in the Asian region, including Vietnam, India, and Taiwan. As these countries rise, the global prices of honey decrease significantly due to more affordable imports.

Rising sourcing destinations for honey are concentrated in the Asian markets, such as Vietnam, India, and Taiwan. These cheaper imports have pushed down global prices of honey significantly, and the competition is expected to become fiercer as these countries rise in prominence. Vietnam competes with the Indian market in terms of its prices to become one of the cheapest honey globally. However, these cheap prices sometimes come at the expense of quality, in which honey is either harvested early or includes artificial enhancements. There have also been records of China using Vietnam and other Asian countries to re-export their products to avoid anti-dumping duties. For consumers, however, this might paint a different picture, as many are looking to get a bargain, and with the global decline in the hive population, pure honey is hard to keep up.
