Big under reaction to other factors affecting CVT lately IMO. Net-net - Still a big under reaction and my view is there's plenty of reasons and plenty of room for the stock to track south from here.
Digging for a bone with some meat on it Roger? You'll have to talk it down some more!
jonu, Im sorry for the country and farmers, living off the land is a very very hard occupation, currency, weather, markets, public perception, govt regulations, OSH et al and now this 10 years of hard work can be blown away through no fault of theirs , just remember the kiwi fruit's PSA !!
"We understand when myrtle rust arrived in Australia in 2010 there were concerns about the impact it might have on honey production. However, to date there seems to have been no effect."
Word from one very reputable beekeeper is that there will be a massive shakeout in the manuka honey industry.
He has been involved in the industry for decades in the Hawkes Bay region and believes that a huge amount (at least 50%) of the manuka honey in storage out there is adulterated and of low quality. The new testing regime (involving 5 rather than 3 markers) will render the adulterated honey into relatively low value multi-flora honey.
How many people out there know that UMF level can be artificially boosted in the short term via heat treatment for eg?
Best to keep clear until the honey bees stop buzzing for a while!
