Episode Details

Canadian honey producers are racing against time to ship their sweet cargo to the U.S. before a looming 50% tariff hits Wednesday — a move that could devastate Manitoba, Canada’s top honey exporter, which alone sent over $28 million worth of honey south last year. With many beekeepers depending entirely on this trade, industry leaders warn of financial collapse if tariffs stick. But there’s a twist: a smaller crop this year might stabilize prices, while some producers pivot to markets like Singapore after Japan’s testing hurdles. Despite frantic efforts — with 11 million pounds already shipped by June — the deadline looms uncertainly. The Canadian government is stepping in to support Manitoba’s beekeepers and protect jobs, as the industry scrambles for solutions amid mounting pressure.
