About Zost Honey
Decades of operational excellence in the Ukrainian apiary and export sector.
Our Structure & Legacy
Zost Honey has operated as a cornerstone of the regional beekeeping community for decades. We function as a multi-faceted enterprise: supplying local apiaries with professional-grade inventory, meeting local wholesale honey demands by partnering with multiple domestic entities across Ukraine, and serving as a major consolidation and processing hub for international bulk honey exports. Our infrastructure is designed to handle high-volume processing while maintaining strict lot traceability.
Processing & Export Workflow
Our facility adheres to rigorous international food safety standards throughout the entire processing lifecycle.
1. Sourcing & Reception
Raw honey is sourced exclusively from vetted Ukrainian apiaries. Every incoming batch is assigned a unique traceability code and placed in quarantine pending initial moisture and residue testing.
2. Homogenization
Approved batches are carefully warmed and blended in large-capacity industrial homogenizers to ensure uniform color, moisture content, and pollen distribution across the entire export lot.
3. Barrel Packing
The homogenized honey is filtered and packed into food-grade steel drums. Barrels are securely sealed and labeled with lot numbers for international customs.
4. Final Certification & Dispatch
Lab samples are drawn from the final drums. Once clear, the shipment is loaded into standard export containers alongside all required veterinary and customs documentation.
