Himalaya’s engagement with the Soliga Tribe ties in perfectly with our people, planet and product mission.

We remain committed to offering you the best honey in the world, while at the same time ensuring that we respect the health of the planet and the communities that live in it.

Our collaboration with the Soligas aims at creating a model of development, which rests on the principle of ‘sustainability’ – economic and environmental.

The honey is bought from the Soligas at a fair price. The collection of honey is sustainable and non-exploitative.

By engaging local communities we are able to extend the circle of benefits to include previously excluded people.

Himalaya has engaged the Soliga Tribe to collect certified organic honey from the tropical evergreen forests of South India.

The honey is 100% Organic, fairly traded and sustainably harvested.

Fair trade ensures there is no exploitation of the honey collectors, they are guaranteed a fair price for the honey harvested and the trading partnership benefits all parties. It stands for all-round sustainable development.

Himalaya is supporting over 1000 families of registered traditional honey collectors through the honey collection project.

Himalaya pays 25% more than the market price for the honey. We have also pledged a percentage of our profits to help the Soligas build a better life.

For the Soligas, this partnership brings them an additional source of income and also helps them build links to the world market.

By engaging the Soligas, Himalaya helps preserve their tradition of honey collection, which draws on indigenous knowledge and cares for the earth.
