[QUOTE="Scientia Sit Potentia, post: 3299, member: 186"] I am not arguing with personal view and the outcome of sales at the community centre. I would note that Nutrition is dropped following your first sentence though. We are not the only country that can make great honey with a great flavour. The global market has a plethora of varietal choice, of varying flavour profiles, origin choice, quality and cost. The reality is that you probably do not represent the global market as a demographic profile and the community centre would not be representative of the global market place. I am not sure of the honey competition your jars were up against on that given day but I would imagine it was limited. The global production of honey is approximately 2 million tonnes. New Zealand does not produce 2% of this. The one unique honey we produce that has a broad consumer acceptance of delivering some form of benefit, leads global pricing and has continuous annual growth and demand. There is no doubt that New Zealand could sell all the honey it can produce at a price. Unfortunately not every producer likes the price. The global consumer however has clearly indicated that they are prepared to pay more for a honey when the honey is perceived as more than just'sweet, stick, natural and tasty' Of course NZ can sell on tase and variety, just don't expect a premium price over the other world producers selling on taste and variety.
