The National Beekeepers’
Association (NBA) wishes to correct misleading information,
circulating in some media, that beekeepers are earning up to
$400 a kg for bulk manuka honey.
NBA chief executive,
Daniel Paul, says this is incorrect.
At best, beekeepers
are earning up to $50 a kg for bulk manuka honey which is
UMF 20+. And they’ll be earning less than that for other
products.
“Retailers could be earning up to $400 a kg,
but that’s certainly not what the beekeepers get,” Mr.
Paul
said.
