      Even if thats not enough honey is a long storage product of relatively high value. Im sure it can be sold pretty much world wide. I mean we get fruits from south america in the winter

            @[email protected] and @[email protected] yes just like when selling globally like to the us or with other global trade items. transit and storage does not disapear because its close. luckily shipping is some of the cheapest transit and because of lead time you send it out earlier from storage.

        Diversify. It’s hard, but certainly doable.
