Consolidation in Horticultural Grower Numbers: Discussion

Ms Niamh Brennan:

Up to 80% or 85% of our mushrooms are exported to the UK market. We are renowned for our climate and expertise in mushroom growing that allow us to service the UK market. However, many mushroom growers suffered on foot of Brexit. We lost a lot of growers. We are renowned for growing mushrooms and it would be a pity if issues such as the substrate were to erode the value and expertise we have built up over the years in our mushroom industry.
