Earnings by a leading company in New Zealand’s $100 million Manuka honey export industry have the potential to increase ten-fold through use of patented technology outlined at the annual NZBIO biotechnology showcase in Auckland this week. Manuka Health New Zealand Ltd chief executive Kerry Paul told the conference his company’s next generation of Manuka honey products would use patented technology to deliver the active ingredient in forms more akin to pharmaceutical products than jars of honey.
