‘Exclusion of mushroom sector from crisis fund is beyond belief'
According to IFA president Tim Cullinan, the exclusion of the mushroom sector from the Horticulture Crisis fund is beyond belief. On Tuesday, the Department of Agriculture announced that the scheme is now open for applications with eligible framers set to receive a once-off payment in January 2024. However, white mushroom growers and the majority of strawberry growers are excluded.
