[QUOTE="John B, post: 3058, member: 207"] I don't expect price stability. I expect the complete opposite. Prices go up and prices go down. I am a beekeeper and am not really interested in marketing but I find it interesting that every article I read or see on honey is Ra Ra Things are fantastic, sales have never been better et cetera but when you talk to beekeepers it's a whole different story.I may be wrong but from what I've seen and heard I get the distinct impression that the demand for manuka is down and that markets are saturated. When something is oversupplied and overvalued it invariably leads to a price correction. I don't think manuka will go back to being worth 3p a pound and I'm damn sure that table manuka is not worth $2000 a pot no matter how flash a label it has. The true value of manuka obviously lies somewhere between these two price points and in the end the market will decide what that price is . I accept that I tend to be a bit negative when it comes to what has happened with manuka but there are plenty out there swimming madly upstream to balance out anything I say. [/QUOTE]
