1925

In 1925 the Massey Government set up the Export Honey Control Board. While a move toward more orderly marketing, it gave only limited protection when considering that 80% of honey was sold on the local market.

In the 1925 calendar year the HPA sold 293 tons 7 cwt in bulk and packed 261 tons 6 cwt.
