Anti-dumping gains at risk

Today we are enjoying record high prices. The honey industry is starting to recover from years of disastrously low prices. Debts are being paid down; old bee equipment is being replaced. New trucks and loaders are being purchased. Most in the industry are cautiously optimistic. We now have a tough decision to make. Basically, we are at a crossroads. Do we protect the prices we've gained through the anti-dumping action or do we sit back and let the market take its course? If we let the market prevail unrestricted, within a year, possibly two, we will be back to the 50-cent a pound level.
