Acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia) honey makes up more than 70% of the total honey manufactured in South Korea . However, in recent years, the overall quantity of honey produced has fallen drastically. The reason is climate change, as it has shortened the acacia flower's blooming season and stunted its growth. This led to the development of a new variety of honey called Hovenia honey.
Compared to the Acacia flower, the Hovenia flower produces more nectar. Hovenia trees have thus been proposed as potential honey plants in South Korea. This has positively affected the demand for Hovenia honey and has aided South Korea's honey market.
The snack food manufacturer Haita-Calbee introduced honey butter potato chips in the year 2015, and ever since honey flavoured snacks have been one of the most preferred food products in the country A frenzied consumer-run resulted from the unexpected success of these salty-sweet, honey-flavoured potato chips and the resulting shortage. Convenience stores fanned out the hordes with firm signs saying, "No Honey Butter Chip left." Honey Butter Yeolpung, or "craze" in Korean , is the term given to the phenomenon. To meet the increased demand, dozens of identical products emerged in the South Korean market.
Celebrity endorsements further surged the demand for the product. This overwhelming demand for the product made the market more competitive, and many brands like Nongshim’s Sumi, Lotte, and Orion also launched honey-flavoured products. Aided by social media, the popularity of honey butter chips affected the honey market positively.
Honey is a by-product of flower nectar and the honeybee’s upper aerodigestive tract, and it is concentrated inside the beehive through dehydration. All he shades of honey are of yellow and amber.
