YANGON, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar earned over 1.6 million U.S. dollars from exporting over 1,100 tons of honey in the first nine months of the current 2024-25 fiscal year starting April last year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation said on Monday.
Honey exports during this period were down compared to the same period last fiscal year, when the country earned about 2.4 million dollars from around 1,600 tons of honey, an official at the livestock breeding and veterinary department of the ministry said.
