As you know it has been an extremely difficult year for exporters and for packers alike because of intense competition between Supermarkets in the USA and the abundance of honey the world over. There are many origins who still have many thousands of tons carry over from the Old crop (for example Argentina has more than 20,000 MT Unsold as has Uruguay, Guatemala & Mexico). Moreover the New Crops from the whole of Latin America are almost upon us so that the prospects are not at all good for increasing the market prices from their present levels.
