Listening to Ronnie Wilson on the radio , the Monaghan CEO mentioned that the company intends to bring an array of health products to the market over the next year or two.
The company has plied a lot of money into research and development over the years, and is analysing consumers trends in the the domestic market. The potential for health products in the market is driven by the consumer demand for healthy eating. Mushroom based products, as well as the fresh produce, are perfectly placed to deliver on that.
In the interview Mr Wilson repeatedly drove home the message that mushroom derived products and mushrooms themselves deliver health benefits.
The mushroom is now the raw material, and with its amino acid and vitamin profiles, he said that they help cognitive function for one thing, and have various other health properties.
