The Science

Over the last decade, Australian universities have become leading research centres for Manuka honey.

Our mission statement is simple:

To protect and promote the global appeal and awareness of Manuka honey produced in Australia.

The Australian Manuka Honey Association (AMHA) is the leading national body for the production and promotion of Manuka honey in Australia.

Formed by the leaders of the largest and most influential honey companies in Australia and supported by hundreds of beekeepers, the AMHA represents 180 years of Australian beekeeping practice and honey production.

Our Objectives are to:

Support scientific research of Australian Manuka honey and its uses
Increase the knowledge and understanding of the properties of Australian Manuka honey
Restrict international naming or market rights to Manuka honey
