MPI approval

[Rob Stockley 3,417]

It lists primary producers as exempt so that's us.

Where did you find this? The regulations (snip below) don't mention primary producers.

I see what you've done. You don't need an RMP to produce honey. You do need to be listed to supply honey to an RMP for export to certain countries.

 

Follow your instructions but on the quicklinks go two further down to Beekeeper Listing. Near the top of the form.

Ahhhh ok, I kind of glanced over it, As I'm not producing honey for export and am extracting my own I thought MPI might have kicked an own goal.

As far as I know if you're extracting your own under RMP then you don't need to be listed as well. Might be wrong. I'm not in that category.

 

In fact if you're not producing for export then you don't need to be listed full stop.

Only extracting for my own use so its the wild west as far as rules go.
