MUSHROOM GROWING
Mostly affected by growing costs
Production output still lower by 8% compared to last year (+4% vs Q4 2021) due to:
- Previously sustained production challenges;
- COVID-19.
Increasing costs put pressure on profitability: energy and payroll costs account for 35% of total COGS.
Review of product prices is always challenging and takes time: ~5% increase in prices during last quarter, but average sale price is the same YoY due to different product mix.

Key focus areas:
- Production volumes.
- Production in two months of Q2: 2,011 t;
