Looking back ten years to 2016 Frank Parker and Stuart Whitehall were looking at the Positive Effects of Supplementing Casing. Their article specifically looked at the effect of adding supplements to the casing with or without commercial compost supplement. Fyffes made another purchase of a mushroom company in Canada.
The company paid CAD$59.1m (€41m or £34.4m) for All Seasons Mushrooms, one of the largest mushroom producers in Western Canada. News that 70 employees were sent home from a Tipperary mushroom farm was reported as the effects of the UK’s Brexit were writ large in the Irish hort sector.
Managing director Peter Mc Donald said the company was losing between €10,000 and €12,000 a week since the June vote.
There was more - Gorman’s Mushrooms in Portarlington told their thirty staff that the business was going to shut. Brexit broke a lot.
