Tehan discussed the matter with New Zealand's Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor on Monday.
"I... propose that the Australian and New Zealand governments jointly facilitate a workshop with our respective manuka honey industries," Tehan told ABC News.
"Including in areas such as industry development, research, joint marketing, technology sharing and addressing fraudulent honey products."
John Rawcliffe, spokesperson for New Zealand's MÄnuka Honey Appellation Society says while he hasn't heard any official word on the matter he would "absolutely welcome this opportunity".
"I think it's positive to get to the table," Rawcliffe told Newshub.
"We have a lot of good science that we're willing to share with Australia."
