[QUOTE="tristan, post: 11422, member: 30"] as above. typically boom and bust. new standards were introduced to ensure manuka is manuka. that meant a lot of manuka failing the testing. also cheaper honeys where getting high prices because it was being blended with manuka, now the blending has stopped prices have crashed. i'm not sure on the manuka side but manuka prices have also dropped a lot. so low honey prices, the propolis market has disappeared, oversupply in wax. plus some good seasons means there is a lot of honey in storage that they have not being able to sell. people where also holding back manuka so got caught when prices crashed. added wrinkle is buyers don't like dealing with small guys (much easier to deal with one company than 50 small ones), so they were the first to be dropped. typically boom and bust.
