There are a number of formulas for determining the price of chunk
honey, mostly dealing with valuing the comb and liquid seperately and
then adding them together. But I have observed that the outcome is
usually that the chunk price is 150% of the liquid price for the same
size container. So, if 44 ounces of honey (a quart?) sells for $7,
chunk in that size container might sell for $10.50-$11.
But watch this. A guy around here puts a single slice of comb in a 1
pound jar and calls it 'chunk'. Mine has 3 slices of comb.
Stick with a quality product, even if you have to raise the price.
The idea is to put all the chunk in that the container will hold, and
then pour liquid to fill. I sell a five pound chunk, wholesale, for
$17.50 ( cartons of 6 jars). By weight, it has 3 lbs of comb and
about 2 lbs. of liquid. Retail it sells for $25-$30, and the
retailers always sell out!
My one-pound chunk wholesales (cartons of 12) for $4.50 each, and my
2.5 lb. chunk (cartons of 12) wholesales for $7.50. Markup for retail
runs from 140% to 200%.
Hope th is helps.
