The 7th edition of the Hatta Honey Festival kicked off on Tuesday with 50 Emirati beekeepers participating. Running until December 31, it is being held at the city civic body's Hatta Hall from 9am to 8pm daily.
The festival aims at supporting the UAE's honey production industry and improve the economic opportunities available to its citizens.
Alia Al Harmoodi, acting CEO of the Environment, Health and Safety Agency at Dubai Municipality, highlighted that the event illustrates the significance of the honey production sector in Hatta, and is one of the vital development initiatives that seek to improve the sector in the country.
“Dubai Municipality will be providing fast assessment services for honey samples in the festival for exhibitors and visitors by utilising the latest technological innovations and chemical examination devices through the Dubai Central Laboratory. This is consistent with the Municipality's pledge to guarantee the quality of the honey products and compliance with UAE standards during the festival,” Al Harmoodi said.
The festival serves as a platform to inform visitors about the varieties of honey and the characteristics of each type.
