"Part of the *new* cooperative agreement between the Sioux
Honey Assn. and the Argentine cooperative FACAP *includes*
the exportation of *Argentine* honey, bottled and labeled under
the Sioux honey brand..."
So, what does one make of this? Sioux Bee, which heretofore has been a
domestic coop (is that correct?), has opened the coop to imports. Does this
set a precedent? Is this decision driven by the bottom line (dollars) or is
it a supply/demand issue (coop members aren't able to produce enough to meet
Sioux Bee's needs)? If the former and I were a coop member, I think I'd be
a bit POed. Obviously, I don't have a full appreciation for how the coops
run and would appreciate a lesson.
