Times are challenging for the global honey sector.

Oversupply, inflated prices, and global volatility continue to drive sector woes.

Apiculture NZ CEO Karin Kos told Mike Hosking both domestic and export factors are contributing.

In 2019, New Zealand had a record 1 million hives and 10,000 beekeepers, but now there’s under 500,000 hives and 7,600 beekeepers, she says.

At the same time, Kos told Hosking, there was softening global demand post-Covid, particularly in some of our largest markets.
