West Asia Crisis Hits Saharanpur's Honey Export, Stakeholders Seek Govt Help

The ongoing West Asia conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States has disrupted honey exports from Saharanpur, a key export hub. Exporters say shipping routes have been hit, ports are congested, and freight costs have surged, leaving consignments stuck. Beekeepers, already affected by earlier U.S. tariffs, say the situation has worsened and are urging government intervention. Industry stakeholders remain hopeful that exports will resume as conditions stabilise.
