Australian Honey Products

Debi and I a pleased to be able to ship Tasmania's honey around the world and offer our sincere congratulations to Lindsay and Yeonsoon for not only winning this years Regional Exporter of the Year Award, but also for what we thought was the best speech of the evening.

The following is from the Economic Development Nessletter:

Australian Honey Products produce a superb range of honey and related products, including the multi-award winning Cradle Mountain Leatherwood Honey.

From pollination and harvesting through to processing, packaging and marketing, this Launceston-based company has made its mark. Milestones along the road to export success include breaking into the difficult Korean market, which has stringent quota limits on imported honey, and gaining a firm foothold in premium level markets in Japan, where consumers are renowned for their highly discerning tastes and insistence on quality.

This forward thinking company has made substantial investments to ensure that it builds on its success. Today it owns an impressive 1200 hives, strategically placed in Tasmania’s pristine cool climate rainforests. And its use of cutting-edge heat exchange equipment has strengthened its position as one of the state’s leading honey producers.
