Libyans won prizes in Paris
It will be recalled that in February this year Libya’s World of Bees Company (Irbid Apiaries), and the Natural Food Company (Rafie’s Apiaries), obtained advanced rankings in the Paris Honey Awards 2023 competition to determine the best quality of honey in the world.
The Bee World Company obtained two gold medals for the product of Al-Atl and Sidr honey for the international quality of honey, and the Natural Food Company won first place with a gold medal for thyme honey.

The Natural Food Company and Al-Naqaa Honey Company obtained last year the Golden London Award for honey quality.
Speaking exclusively to Libya Herald last February, Mohamed Al-Belaili, Director of the Media Office at the LEPC, said that there are several Libyan companies that have previously won international awards in the production of honey.
