BAHA: Honey sales at a festival in Baha have exceeded SR1 million ($266,607) during the period from Aug. 13-28, with a large number of visitors flocking to the event.
The 13th International Honey Festival aims to help beekeepers promote their products in a professional environment while also making the event lucrative.
Honey prices at the festival range between SR300 and SR1,200 per kilo, with displays of different types of liquid honey and honey wax typical of the Baha region on show. They include sidr honey, ziziphus spina-christi honey, acacia honey, samra honey, lavender honey, alfalfa honey, and white honey.
Beekeeper Yahya bin Tayran said Baha honey was one of the finest, especially if its source was far from where people lived.
To maintain the quality of the product displayed at the festival, appropriate measures were taken in the laboratory of the Beekeepers Cooperative Society, which led to an increase in consumer confidence and sales.
