The world raw honey supply remains tight. Demand for honey remains high, and current stable raw honey prices may once again begin to climb.
White bottle grade honey is exceedingly short, and some honey packers are looking to supplement this honey with lower quality White and Extra Light Amber Honey from wherever they can obtain it in the world market. At the same time, many industrial honey users are downgrading from White Honey to Extra Light Amber Honey, Extra Light Amber Honey to Light Amber Honey, and Light Amber Honey to Amber Honey whenever and wherever possible. This puts supply pressure, and consequently price pressure, on all grades of honey.
The 2011 U.S. and Canada honey crops were very short and heavy demand for this honey raised overall raw honey prices. The U.S. is in a better position than it has been for several years in competing for raw honey in the world market due to the continued weakening of the Euro and other world currencies. This, along with reduced buying from Europe, resulted in heavy imports of foreign raw honey into the U.S. This has been what has helped to keep raw honey prices in check.
Imports of raw honey from India into the U.S. will most likely be down substantially in 2012. India is projecting a short honey crop, and much more of this honey will find its way into Europe as the ban on India honey was lifted last year. Much of the India honey produced meets the no GMO pollen in honey requirements with which Europe is now struggling. Increased scrutiny by the FDA and I.C.E for possible circumvention of Chinese honey could also reduce imports of raw honey from India into the U.S.
Argentina's honey crop is short due to severe heat and drought. Argentina also is struggling with reduced forage area for bees to work since more land is being converted to farmland for growing corn and soybeans. Argentina raw honey will be expensive, but it may be held in check if Europe shies away from their honey due to GMO pollen issues.
Brazil's honey crop looks good. Competition for this high quality honey will be intense. Europe will be aggressively sourcing this predominantly darker, predominately GMO pollen free honey. Brazilian raw honey prices will probably be comparable to that of Argentina raw honey.
Vietnam is currently hesitant to get their new honey crop into the market, and U.S. importers are proceeding with caution due to a possible fungicide contamination issue from one of their floral sources. Vietnam is addressing the problem, and once this problem is resolved, competition for this honey will be strong and prices will reflect that demand.
No hay que sorprenderse entonces que en todo taller mecánico y vulcanización encontremos hermosas asistentes dándonos la bienvenida.
Pirelli tiene un hermoso Calendario 2012, lleno de secretarias, asistentes en paños menores o simplemente como llegaron al mundo (un ejemplo el de la derecha, más aquí).
Y se preguntaran a que viene todo esto?.
Viene de una noticia que está circulando en la internet a partir de hoy: "Pirelli gestionará la exportación de miel argentina por 110 millones de dólares"
¿Y porqué Pirelli?.
Porque los precios de la miel van a subir, estamos viendo a las grandes corporaciones, a los grandes compradores entrar al mercado de los commodities con el objetivo de hacer grandes margenes. Además Pirelli tiene una larga historia con la Argentina por sus lazos italianos.
Baste ver el reciente informe de mercado de Skamberg : Yo leo : No Hay Miel y el precio al alza.

estimado colega, en el poco tiempo que lo sigo he llegado a admirar su versatilidad. Por lo mismo le pido, si es que le sobra un poquito de su tiempo pudiera, si bien no una traducción completa, el concepto resumen que hay detras de ella traducido para los que no manejamos idiomas. Agradecido.
