| Abstract: |
EU honey producers call for urgent action in the face of market threats. Market threats are said to include poor climatic conditions and cheap honey imports from China. Faced by a market situation deemed to be critical, European honey producers and members of Copa-Cogeca, the EU agricultural association, are launching an appeal from Brussels to European authorities in order to get a rapid response to challenges facing the honey industry. In 2019 there was said to be no hike in prices following the drop in honey production in the main producing and exporting countries in the south and east of the EU, which was caused by poor climatic conditions. Copa-Cogeca members have stressed that this market situation cannot be dismissed as an economic problem. |
