Balparmak Maintains Top Position in Bee Products Exports

Balparmak, one of Turkey's leading honey brands, topped the bee products category by export performance in 2025. The company was recognized with the "Export Champion in Bee Products Category" award by the Istanbul Water Products and Animal Products Exporters Association.

This achievement, realized during a period when the global honey market continues to grow with a volume exceeding USD 9 billion, also highlights Turkey's strong potential in beekeeping. Turkey holds a significant position in the global market with approximately 9.3 million bee colonies and 97,000 tonnes of honey production.

Exports to 45 countries
Balparmak, expanding its export network year on year, ships products to 45 countries, notably the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and the United States. The brand continues its global growth through new partnerships and market expansion strategies.

Emphasis on "Turkish Pine Honey"
Speaking at the awards ceremony, Murat Ağırbaş noted that the success achieved is a result of a sustainable export strategy. Ağırbaş stated: "This award is not merely an indicator of success; it is also strong confirmation of our steady growth journey. Our objective is to establish Turkish Pine Honey as a powerful global brand and secure a lasting position for it."

Balparmak's analysis methods, developed through R&D work, have contributed to the registration of pine honey unique to Turkey as "Turkish Pine Honey" and its recognition internationally.

Growth target through value-added products
The company aims not only to increase honey exports but also to achieve a stronger position in the global market through high value-added products such as propolis and royal jelly. Operating across a wide geography stretching from China to the United States, from the Middle East to the Balkans, Balparmak continues to develop export channels through innovation-focused investments.

Balparmak aims in the coming period to enter new markets and contribute to Turkey's global brand value in the beekeeping sector.
