Producers and beekeepers
We work so that you can document the authenticity of the honey you produce with a measured result, before a buyer enquiry arrives.
When genuine honey and honey containing added syrup sit on the same shelf, how does a producer’s quality difference become visible?
Where the buyer side holds no evidence distinguishing the two products, pricing is applied to both by the same yardstick. A quality difference is reflected in price only where that difference can be demonstrated.
- Product authenticity is largely assessed on the basis of declaration
- No measured evidence can be presented in price discussions
- Producers operating in the same region remain within a similar price band
- Laboratory analysis is both costly and slow to return a result
What we provide to producers and beekeepers
The ability to verify the product you produce under your own control.
You carry out the verification yourself
You assess the product in the field after harvest and place the result on record against the batch.
You present evidence in price discussions
When authenticity is questioned you present a measured result and move the discussion beyond declaration.
Your source declaration is placed on record
Your floral source and regional declaration is retained on the same record as the assessment.
What matters in production
The three topics most frequently encountered in the sector.
Quality difference is not reflected in price
A quality difference the buyer cannot confirm does not translate into pricing.
Access to analysis is limited
For producers outside urban centres, access to a laboratory represents both a distance and a cost burden.
Buyer expectations differ
Each new buyer requests its own evidence and the process begins again.
Let us plan your verification setup together.
We will begin from your harvest arrangements and your sales channels.
