Honey

CNVP Albania has worked for more than 3 years with Morava Honey Farm outside Korca to improve its value chain, as well as its understanding of EU standards for honey production. Morava has more than 25 years’ experience of honey production and trading. It has been certified ISSO 22000 and HACCP. Honey is collected from more than 100 beekeepers in the Korca region, as well as from the municipalities of Gjirokastër, Përmet, Delvinë, Vlorë, Librazhd, Pogradec, Gramsh, Berat etc. Before collaboration with CNVP, Morava’s labelling and quality management was poorly organised. Beekeepers delivered their honey in inappropriate and unclean cans that were old and had been used for other products e.g. olive oil, jam etc., thereby lowering the quality of honey delivered. Morava requested CNVP’s help to introduce beekeepers to EU standards. CNVP organized training to improve collection and packaging, especially the use of clean container cans to upgrade the value chain.
