Northern Ireland mushroom producers are seeking clarity on post-Brexit aid scheme replacement. A local MP in the Newry and Armagh area has engaged with the Mushroom Producers Organisation, addressing their concerns about the termination of the EU's Fruit and Vegetable Aid Scheme.
The MP has reached out to the British Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, seeking clarity on any plans for an alternative or an extension of the scheme beyond 2025.
The Secretary is urged to engage with local producers to maintain high-quality local production.
