When I looked on the website of JF McKenna I liked one phrase from their client`s review: “The whole team at JF McKenna will go the extra mile”, which means “make effort”. Being the editor of UMDIS Mushroom Information Agency, I agreed on our promo company visit to JF McKenna in the beginning of July. In the moment of buying the tickets – I realised that JF McKenna, general contractor and supplier for mushroom industry, was located in Northern Ireland, not in Ireland as I thought – so I needed visa to UK as it is not EU anymore. After thinking about the situation for some hours I wrote to JF McKenna: – Maybe you will come to Ireland and show me your clients there? I was amazed receiving the answer: – Yes, for sure. I thought that time – wow, this company really “will go the extra mile”!

According to the monitoring by UMDIS agency for the week of August 7-13, 2023, in the Moldovan supermarket, a kilogram of white champignons by weight costs 2.73 Euros. While on the same shelf there is a kilogram package of champignons at a price of 3.5 Euro – much more expensive, but probably the producer is different. A package of white champignons 400 grams costs 1.6 euros, 250 grams – 1.24 euros, 200 grams – 1.13 euros. Also, on the shelf of the Moldovan supermarket there are mixtures of white and brown champignons – 400 grams – 2 euros. For comparison, in Moldova, cucumbers cost 1 Euro, tomatoes – 1.2 Euro per kilogram. Chicken fillet in a package – 2.2 euros per half kilogram. A kilogram of champignons is between vegetables and chicken fillet. So, for a kilo of champignons you can buy about 3 kilograms of cucumbers.
