Government of India Revises Minimum Export Price (MEP) for Natural Honey

In a significant move aimed at boosting the export potential of Indian honey, the Government of India has announced a revision in the Minimum Export Price (MEP) for Natural Honey. This change, effective immediately, is expected to enhance the competitiveness of Indian honey in the global market.

Revised MEP for Natural Honey

As per Notification No. 27/2025-26 issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), the MEP for Natural Honey under ITC(HS) code 04090000 has been reduced from USD 2000 FOB per Metric Ton to USD 1400 FOB per Metric Ton. This revised policy will remain in effect until December 31, 2025.

Key Details of the Notification:

HS Code: 04090000
Item Description: Natural Honey
Export Policy: Free
Previous MEP: USD 2000 FOB per Metric Ton
Revised MEP: USD 1400 FOB per Metric Ton
Validity: Till December 31, 2025

Impact of the Revision

The reduction in MEP is expected to make Indian honey more affordable and attractive to international buyers. This move aligns with the government’s efforts to promote agricultural exports and support Indian beekeepers and honey producers. By lowering the export price threshold, the government aims to increase the volume of honey exports, thereby contributing to the growth of the sector.

Conclusion

This policy amendment reflects the government’s commitment to fostering the growth of India’s honey industry and enhancing its global presence. Exporters and stakeholders in the honey industry are encouraged to take advantage of this revised policy to expand their market reach.
