Sumbawa Honey
Sustainable Harvesting and Hygienic Filtering
The majority of Sumbawa forest dwelling peoples are dependent on forest honey for their livelihoods. From the edge of tall tree on slope or down on the forest valley, hardly on flat area, those people climbed and risk their life to take honey.
From honey, this group of community that joint in the Sumbawa Forest Honey Network (JMHS – Jaringan Madu Hutan Sumbawa) and with help from the Indonesian Forest Honey Network (JMHI – Jaringan Madu Hutan Indonesia), has changed their methods of honey processing from a squeezing method to a filtering method to maintain the quality of the honey. On the harvesting side, they also has managed it sustainable harvest.
Since then, buyer from all level of area and company named JMHS as trusted sources of best quality forest honey suppliers. On regency level, the Regent proudly supports their effort to make forest honey as the icon for Sumbawa and Honey Day initiatives.
