Vietnam’s Acacia Honey: A New Opportunity for Korean Buyers
Share This :
Vietnam is known for producing high-quality acacia honey, particularly brown acacia honey. As the Vietnam-Korea Free Trade Agreement (VKFTA) phases out tariffs on honey imports from Vietnam, Korean consumers and importers are increasingly interested in Vietnamese honey. By 2029, Vietnamese honey will enter the Korean market tariff-free, making this the perfect time to explore this unique product.
The acacia honey season in Vietnam runs during summer, from May to July. Also, depending on the climate and elevation, the hotter the summer, the higher the volume of acacia honey that season. This honey is known for its dark color, rich flavor, and its numerous health benefits.
In provinces such as Tuyen Quang, Thai Nguyen, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Nam, and Quang Ngai, the acacia trees bloom prolifically during this period, offering a brief but highly productive season for beekeepers. These regions are home to vast forests of acacia trees, and the honey produced here is highly prized for its quality and distinctive taste.

Korean importers place a high emphasis on honey that meets their rigorous quality standards. Our honey processing follows strict protocols to ensure that it meets these criteria. We harvest the honey when it is fully matured, and ensure that its moisture content is kept below 18% for optimal quality and longevity.
The honey is then processed in a controlled environment to preserve its natural enzymes while ensuring safety. We also conduct extensive testing to ensure that our honey is free from any contaminants such as pesticides. We understand that there have been concerns about pesticide residues in some imported honey, and we take steps to ensure that our product is pure and safe for consumption.
Our company already exports acacia honey to Korea and has earned a reputation for reliability and quality. We prioritize transparency in our production process, allowing our Korean partners to trust the purity of our honey. We also work closely with local beekeepers to ensure sustainable practices that benefit the environment as well as the communities in which we operate
With the VKFTA eliminating tariffs on honey imports by 2029, now is the perfect time for Korean importers to explore partnerships with Vietnamese honey producers. Our brown acacia honey, sourced from the highland provinces of Northern Vietnam, is an ideal product for those looking to import premium, natural honey.
