French Honey Production Forecasted to Drop Amid Weather Hazards
What happened
French honey production is projected to decrease by 2.5% compared to 2025, a trend attributed to consecutive heatwaves and weather hazards since June. While the season began strongly, with multifloral and rapeseed honey increasing significantly, yields for summer honey types like lavender are expected to drop by 70%.
