Sticky situation: Australia-New Zealand tensions rise over million-dollar China manuka honey battle
FoodNavigator-asia.com • cached • stripped • 1 hour ago
Although this battle has been waged before, such as in the United Kingdom (where New Zealand successfully won a bid to register manuka honey for certification trade, a decision now being appealed by Australia), the situation over trademarks in China arose earlier this year in September. Manuka honey is prized for its supposed antibacterial properties, and one kilogramme could sell for up to some A$400 (US$275) in China. According to Sydney Morning Herald, New Zealand Food Safety had written a letter supporting the Manuka Honey Appellation Society's (MHAS) bid to the Beijing Intellectual Property Court to trademark the term 'manuka', potentially closing Australia's doors to a potential billion-dollar market.
