dc.description.abstractThe study examines the logistical challenges faced in exporting honey from Türkiye to Europe, emphasizing their significance for export performance and sectoral competitiveness. Although Türkiye benefits from a strategic geographical position and a developed land–sea transport network, several constraints continue to impede efficient market access. High transportation costs, prolonged certification and analysis procedures, and lengthy customs and border passage times collectively reduce operational efficiency and diminish firms’ profitability. Using semi-structured in-depth interviews with 13 honey-exporting firms selected through convenience sampling, the research captures exporters’ practical experiences and identifies the critical pain points in the logistics chain. Findings indicate that maritime and multimodal transport are the predominant shipping methods, with glass jars preferred for their market appeal, while cold chain applications remain limited and are used only in exceptional circumstances. The most critical bottlenecks involve extended certification processes and waiting times at customs, both of which significantly increase costs and delay deliveries. Based on these insights, the study highlights the need for digitalization initiatives, targeted investments in logistical infrastructure, and streamlined certification procedures to enhance the efficiency of honey exports to Europe. Implementing such improvements is expected to reduce costs, accelerate processes, and strengthen the competitiveness of Türkiye’s honey sector in European markets.
