As the very first in the world, Deckers in Geldern-Pont has started a commercial mushroom farm with tilting shelves.
Currently there are eight growing rooms of 756 m2 surface area, with four rows of shelves per room. The first room was filled on 17 March. By now four rooms have been completed and filled several times. The next four are poised to go into operation.
From mid-May, two growing rooms will be filled weekly in a four-week cycle using brown mushrooms of the Heirloom variety, and compost from CNC in The Netherlands.
