A course on how to organize a mushroom harvest with trainer Lina Turovska was held by the UMDIS Mushroom Agency at Kerrigan’s mushrooms farm March 4-6, 2024.
16 course participants received practical and theoretical knowledge about the organization of the collection department at the mushroom farm. During the course, participants looked at how a picking department should be organized depending on the size of the farm, how to select and deploy mushroom pickers, and how to motivate the team to achieve a good result.
In Ireland, as in many other countries, the problem of a shortage of mushroom pickers is at the top of the list. Therefore, it is crucial to organize the harvesting process in such a way that the pickers of the mushroom show a high harvesting rate, while maintaining quality and overall yield.
Today, the minimum wage in Ireland is €12.70 per hour and Irish farms are very keen to attract new workers. Therefore, farms are willing to provide housing and additional bonuses to employees.
