Mushroom Business Information Center - Last VPN meeting, September 2005.

The last VPN meeting, September 2005.

On Friday 16th September, the members and board of the VPN (Dutch Mushroom Growers Association) convened for the last time at a general meeting. The aim of the meeting was to dissolve the association and formally transfer its activities to a specialised group in the ZLTO (the agricultural and horticultural organisation for the south of the Netherlands). The meeting brought four years of VPN to an end.
