17 Feb 2020 --- European honey producers are calling for an emergency action plan to deal with a loss of business to lower priced imports, in light of poor annual production yields and presently “distressing” market conditions. The EU agricultural association Copa-Cogeca is now urging the European Commission (EC) to tighten its monitoring of honey imports from third countries, such as China, in particular. The organization further emphasizes the importance of origin labeling and other regulatory measures to ensure a product’s adherence to the EU’s definition of honey.
