Now in its third year, the Yes Peas! campaign, which is backed by growers and freezers, has two new supporters – PMC Harvesters of Fakenham, Norfolk, and Pinguin Foods UK of Kings Lynn. PMC are associate members which manufacture pea-harvesting machines, while Pinguin Foods is a freezing company, part of the Belgian Pinguin group.
“We are delighted to welcome these two companies to the 2006/7 campaign. We are looking to continue the success of the 2005/06 campaign which helped achieve a 4% increase in sales volumes, comments Tim Mudge of the Processed Vegetable Growers Association.
