We are encouraging this type of business, as you know, honey, and even it's a special
00:19
type, it's a local type that had been also produced here in the UAE.
00:24
So we are trying to encourage this type of business, because it's actually even linked
00:30
to the nature.
00:31
We have like 50 booths, but even the request for the participation was more than that.
00:35
It seems that people are now encouraging to go to this business.
00:38
Before it was only two types of honey, but actually now we reach to seven types of honey,
00:43
depends on the flower itself, so you can see the variety of the quality of the honey here.
00:50
The laboratory role is to test and to make sure that the honey in the festival is fulfilling
00:56
the GSO standard as a specification of the honey.
01:01
We are doing different type of tests, like total sugar, the content of gelicose and fructose,
01:07
the percentage of diastase enzyme, and to check that the honey quality is reaching to
01:14
the level that the consumer can benefit from it.
01:16
Based on the previous history, all are natural, but still we are making sure we are collecting
01:21
all samples here to test.
01:23
As I told you just now, anything that will not be within the scope, it will be excluded
01:27
from the festival.
01:28
In the UAE, we mainly have cedar, summer, we have from flowers, and we have ghaf.
01:35
But they are bringing as well like the beekeepers, like they are doing a great job, and we have
01:41
now algerm honey, and different types.
01:44
They are trying to find, it's based on the type of tree we have in the UAE.
01:48
Every year we are getting so many participation requests to participate in the exhibition.
01:53
Because today we are focusing on the festival, and we are doing it in a scientific way, it
01:59
gives more confidence for the consumer, so they will buy more.
02:04
So everyone is benefiting from this exhibition, since we are fulfilling the scientific way
02:09
of testing, and fulfilling the requirement of the end user at the end.
02:14
The confidence is the key of empowering this sector.
02:19
We are here visiting, and we are at the Honey Festival, and we are really excited to be
02:24
here.
02:25
Really impressive just looking around.
02:27
They do not have in the United States anything that resembles this, so thank you for this
02:32
introduction to Dubai and HADA.
02:35
At home you know we have one type of honey when you go to the supermarket, it's one type
02:39
or the store brand, so this is our first time really seeing all the types of honeys, all
02:45
the different bees, and all the flowers as well.
02:47
It's a really beautiful event, and we are very fortunate to be here, so thank you for
02:51
having us, and it's really quite incredible to see everything.
02:55

03:20
We have very different types.
03:22
We have something very rare, and we have something normal, and we are, our farm is producing
03:27
the cedar and the summer mainly, and the gulf honeys.
03:31
Also now we can see here something is very rare, this is the leban, it's very important,
03:38
and it has cortisol, this is new information, not available in any other honey.
03:44
Cortisol in the honey.
03:46

03:52

04:01
preparing in the factories and mix it with this special producing, it become like this
04:07
