00:00We are encouraging this type of business, as you know, honey, and even it's a special
00:19type, it's a local type that had been also produced here in the UAE.
00:24So we are trying to encourage this type of business, because it's actually even linked
00:30to the nature.
00:31We have like 50 booths, but even the request for the participation was more than that.
00:35It seems that people are now encouraging to go to this business.
00:38Before it was only two types of honey, but actually now we reached to seven types of
00:42honey, depends on the flower itself.
00:45So you can see the variety of the quality of the honey here.
00:50The laboratory role is to test and to make sure that the honey in the festival is fulfilling
00:56the GSO standard as a specification of the honey.
01:01We are doing different type of tests, like total sugar, the content of gelicose and fructose,
01:07the percentage of diastase enzyme, and to check that the honey quality is reaching to
01:13the level that the consumer can benefit from it.
01:16Based on the previous history, all are natural, but still we are making sure we are collecting
01:21all samples here to test.
01:23As I told you just now, anything, it will not be within the scope, it will be excluded
01:27from the festival.
01:28In UAE, we mainly have cedar, summer, we have from flowers, and we have ghaf.
01:35But they are bringing as well, like the beekeepers, like they are doing a great job, and we have
01:41now algerm honey, and different types.
01:44They are trying to find, it's based on the type of tree we have in UAE.
01:48Every year we are getting so many participation requests to participate in the exhibition,
01:53because today we are focusing on the festival, and we are doing it in a scientific way.
01:59It gives more confidence for the consumer, so they will buy more.
02:03So everyone is benefiting from this exhibition, since we are fulfilling the scientific way
02:09of testing, and fulfilling the requirement of the end-user at the end.
02:14The confidence is the key of empowering this sector.
