What This Means

The U.S. Department of Agriculture wants to raise the fee that honey packers and importers have to pay. This means companies that package honey or bring honey into the country from other nations will have to pay more money to support honey industry programs and research. The change affects how much it costs these businesses to operate, which could eventually influence honey prices for shoppers and how much money is available for honey industry support and marketing.
