Beekeepers across Saudi Arabia have begun harvesting Sidr honey, one of the most prized and luxurious varieties in the region, celebrated for its rich flavor, golden hue, and powerful health benefits.
The honey, produced from the nectar of the Sidr tree found in the Kingdom’s mountains and valleys — particularly in Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha — is highly valued for its therapeutic properties, including boosting immunity, soothing inflammation, and improving digestion.
As demand for natural bee products continues to rise, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture has expanded its support for the apiculture sector, offering training programs, funding initiatives, and modern technologies to enhance production and quality.
Recent advancements — including AI-based hive monitoring and nectar quality analysis — have allowed Saudi beekeepers to elevate their standards, positioning Sidr honey as a global premium export to regional and European markets.
Beyond its economic value, Sidr honey remains a symbol of Saudi heritage and natural wealth, reflecting the harmony between people and nature and highlighting the Kingdom’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and agricultural innovation.
