Our Mission
We (Lindi & Kaya) live in England (Kaya’s home country), where it is not currently possible to import our family’s delicious, natural honey.
We think there’s a gap in the market for a specialty honey that is made in area free of pesticides and pollutants and with no artificial feeding to our bees. Furthermore, we’ve spoken to some of the UK’s key luxury food retailers, who have expressed an interest in stocking our honey.
The Imports Team at the UK’s Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) has advised us that it is not currently possible because Albania is not on the list of approved countries for honey imports. To gain approval, the competent authority in Albania must submit (and have approved by the UK) a residue monitoring control plan for products of animal origin. We’ve had some great support and feedback from Albania’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, which is working to achieve this.
If you are an organisation that would be interested in working with us to help advance our project, then please get in touch - we would love to hear from you.
Our goal is to raise the profile of Albania’s world-class honey and, by doing so, Albania itself.
