Hi to all on BEE-L Bob Harrison wrote: B"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. The piece also says that it is possible that Sioux honey may import bulk honey from FACAP and *other* South American cooperatives located in Chile and Uruguay into the U.S.." Reply: I thought that by being a cooperative as Sioux Honey Assn is that they cannot buy and use honey in excess of 49% of what it's members can produce from outside sources of any kind. How does this apply to Sioux now in volumes they will be dealing with for packing, not besides the point I don't feel they should be allowed to purchase from either China nor Argentina anyway, due to past anti-dumping actions taken. Funny our biggest industry cooperative dealing with honey dumpers. Very pro anti-American packing IMPOV. Why isn't there a law saying that American cooperatives must deal in American Honey or aren't they truly an American cooperative anymore as far as packing is concerned? Sincerely, Dee A.
