But Jim,you need a ha of Manuka per hive for Manuku honey,you will need to turn all your neighborhood in to scrub land !

Couldn't agree more. My guess - they are significantly overstocked and its a short term fix to the problem. Good luck controlling SOR and/or consignment stock in China...
Also thought it was pretty funny they have booked a $2m profit on Sea Dragon investment....

What's the MSG grading system thats used by some producers - different from the UMF that Comvita uses?

CVT's my best gainer, again! Can't wait for their next sales report. Their plan is better than TIL's.

You mean the 'MGO' (Methyl glyoxal) system?
Its a somewhat outdated way of determining the grade of Manuka honey. MGO is the active ingrediant in manuka, formed in the conversion from DHA.
UMF grading takes into account the MGO, DHA and Leptosperin levels of the honey.

My fault - it's MGS - Molan Gold Standard

It's used by an outfit in the Wairarapa which appears to export heaps of manuka honey / products
