Manuka Honey: The Competition Between New Zealand and Australia

The "Leptospermum scoparium" tree found in New Zealand is also a native species in Australia. However, the production of this honey in Australia may come to a complete halt, as a group of New Zealand beekeepers has launched several petitions to obtain exclusive rights to use the term "Manuka." Manuka honey is considered one of the most sought-after products in the market, with New Zealand's honey exports experiencing a significant increase, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
