[QUOTE="James, post: 2676, member: 212"] You're right Dennis .... simplistic ..... but then I'm a pretty simple man ..... and to go into more detail might open channels for libel .... but it was ironic that at the time of the co ops demise a new company started up with a an order book full of potential customers .... but we won't go there, eh. Honey company, Co Op, Collective, call it what you will .... I still like the idea of a marketing arm that benefits Beekeeprs at a grass roots level , an entity that works for the Beekeeper , providing him with a confidence to go into the new season knowing that he has a home for his crop , an entity that has expertise and experience to be out there actively looking for markets, perhaps forming a joint venture with some of the other primary producers to present to the world a united front that when you buy food from New Zealand you are paying for assurity and quality. There is no doubt I can stick my honey in a pot and slap a label on it and sell it to discerning customers overseas .... the trouble is I have neither the time to do it, nor the money to finance it. But when you spread that investment cost over a couple of hundred operators, all of a sudden it becomes feasable. I have a dream ..... to go into a season with that sort of confidence behind me would make life .... very simple, and even enjoyable ! [/QUOTE]
