There's money in manuka honey, and trial aims to increase it
There's money in manuka honey, and trial aims to greatly increase it
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 19 May 2011 ) There's plenty of research on why manuka honey's so useful from a medical and human health point of view.
Equally we understand bees pretty well.
The missing part of the puzzle, ironically, particularly as it is a plant that's indigenous to New Zealand is how to best grow the native.
But a newly formed consortium, the Manuka Research Partnership (NZ) Ltd., along with well-known honey marketer Comvita Ltd., aims to change that.
For sticK – science, technology, innovation & commercialisation KNOWLEDGE - is a new Wellington based news service concentrating on following the money from ideas to income. Contact editor Peter Kerr at peter.kerr055 @ gmail.com
