I got an e-mail tonight that I almost deleted as spam. It seemed at first glance to be one of those “I want to transfer $2 million to your account” scams. But it isn’t. Here’s what it said:
Dear Jordan.Is any way you can find me market of honey in order to increase more Hives in my Farm?What is the price for one litre in your country.I can get one 1000 litres per season.I am from Tanzania East Africa.Eagerly waiting for your responds and comments regarding this.ThanksJoseph Liberio Pablo
Maybe I’m a sucker for the idea of farmers (beekeepers!) in poor countries trying to make a living by look beyond their horizons, but I want to help. I’m also a sucker for exotic honeys: I have a jar of killer bee from Venezuela, what does Tanzanian honey taste like?
So, is there any advice people have for Joseph? My guess is that there are all sorts of import rules and tariffs and quotas and what-have-yous, but maybe somebody has an idea?
