From Vietnamese Hives to Global Value Chains
We set out to change how the world sees Vietnamese honey — from anonymous commodity to a traceable, tropical premium category.
Our Founding Story
BeeHunt was founded on a single conviction: Vietnamese honey is one of the world's great undiscovered origin stories. While New Zealand built a billion-dollar premium category around Manuka, and Argentina became synonymous with reliable bulk supply, Vietnam — the world's 5th largest honey exporter with unparalleled tropical biodiversity — remained largely invisible on the global stage. BeeHunt was built to change that. We combined deep roots in Vietnamese beekeeping communities with international food industry standards, modern OEM/ODM capabilities, and a mission to bring the full richness of Vietnam's tropical florals — coffee blossom, longan, lychee, wildflower — to supply chains and shelves worldwide.
Mission: "To connect the world with Vietnam's extraordinary honey — with uncompromising quality, complete traceability, and service excellence."
Vision: "To make Vietnamese honey a globally recognized origin category — the next Manuka."

Why Vietnam? Why Now?
Vietnam is not yet a globally recognized honey origin — and that is precisely the opportunity. The country's tropical climate, year-round blossoming cycles, and extraordinary floral diversity produce honey varieties that no temperate producer can replicate. As global honey buyers look to diversify away from adulteration-risk markets, Vietnam offers a credentialed, certified, and compelling alternative.
World's 2nd Largest Coffee Producer — World's Largest Coffee Blossom Honey Source. Millions of Robusta trees across the Central Highlands bloom every spring, giving BeeHunt's bees a floral source unavailable anywhere else on earth.
Year-Round Harvesting. Vietnam's tropical climate enables continuous honey production — unlike seasonal temperate producers in Europe and South America who harvest once or twice annually.
5 Distinct Producing Regions. From the Central Highlands (coffee blossom) to southern provinces (longan, lychee) to northwestern mountain apiaries (organic wildflower) — every region tells a different flavor story.
Zero or Reduced Tariffs via EVFTA, CPTPP & RCEP. Vietnamese honey enters the EU, Japan, Canada, and Australia at significantly lower tariff rates than competing origins — a structural cost advantage that passes through to your supply chain.
What We Stand For
Three words define every decision we make at BeeHunt — from how we work with our beekeeping communities to how we serve our international partners.
Traceable
Every jar tells a story. From GPS-tagged hive to your warehouse, we document every step of the journey — beekeeper ID, harvest date, floral source, lab results, processing batch, and shipment record. Complete traceability is not a feature; it is the foundation of everything we do.
Tropical
Coffee blossom. Longan. Lychee. Vietnam's tropical climate produces floral sources that simply do not exist in temperate honey-producing countries. These are not generic honeys with a label change — they are genuinely distinct in flavor, color, aroma, and bioactive profile. This is Vietnam's terroir, and it is yours exclusively through BeeHunt.
Trusted
International certifications, independent third-party laboratory testing, and a zero-tolerance policy for adulteration and antibiotic contamination. In an industry where 46% of imported honey samples show signs of adulteration, BeeHunt was built to be the antidote. Your Certificate of Analysis ships with every batch.
