L as importaciones de miel cruda desde India a USA disminuirán
drásticamente en el 2012. India está
proyectando una cosecha escasa, y la mayor parte de esta miel va a encontrar su
camino a Europa desde que la prohibición de la miel india fue levantada el año
pasado. La mayoría de la miel India no contiene OGM polen y cumple con el
requerimiento de la UE. El aumento de
escrutinios de la FDA y ICE sobre posibles triangulaciones de miel china podrían
también reducir la importación de miel desde India a USA

La cosecha 2011 de USA y C anadá fue escasa y la fuerte
demanda de esta miel hizo crecer sobre todo los precios de la miel cruda.
USA está en una mejor posición de la que ha tenido en muchos años para
competir con miel cruda en el mercado mundial
debido al debilitamiento del euro y otras divisas en el mundo. Esto,
sumado con reducción de compras desde Europa, resultó en fuertes importaciones
de miel cruda a los Estados Unidos. Es lo que ha ayudado a mantener los precios de la miel cruda.
La cosecha de miel de Argentina fue escasa debido a severas
sequías y altas temperaturas. También está luchando con la reducción de áreas
de pecoreo para las abejas desde que la mayor parte del país se está
convirtiendo en una granja para el cultivo de soja y maiz. La miel argentina
estará cara, pero el precio puede ser mantenido a raya en Europa según como
prosiga el tema de los OGM.
La cosecha de Brasil parece buena y la competencia por esta
miel de alta calidad será intensa. Europa se abastecerá agresivamente con esta
miel predominantemente oscura y libre de OGM. Sus precios posiblemente sean
comparables a los de Argentina.
Vietnam está dudando sobre colocar su nueva cosecha de miel
en el Mercado, y los importadores de USA están procediendo con precaución
debido a la posible contaminación con fungicidas a partir de las fuentes
florales. Vietnam está abordando el problema y una vez resuelto, la competencia
por esa miel será fuerte y los precios reflejarán la demanda
Honey Update:
March 2012
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.
