LED Lighting Project

Thursday, 15 April 2021 by Rebecca Mugglestone
Our business is passionate about the environment! We have taken steps to reduce our energy consumption, lowering our carbon emissions for our loved local community. As a business we have invested in LED lights. This will make a huge difference to the environment and this is just the start of our sustainable journey.
 
To help us invest in these energy saving measures we had support from Smart Energy Greater Lincolnshire. Through this we received a grant of £6,315.22 to enable us to make these fantastic changes.
 
The £8.5 million Smart Energy programme has been part funded by the European Regional Development fund. This is enabling small to medium businesses across the Greater Lincolnshire area invest in energy saving technology.

Mango de-sapping

Friday, 07 August 2015 by Rebecca Mugglestone

Mango harvesting is not as easy process as it seems. When the best fruit has been picked, it should be de-sapped. Mango tree’s sap has a very sticky texture and can damage the skin of a fruit reducing its quality. The sap is majorly released a few minutes after cutting the stem to seal the wound. Just like people’s cuts would be sealed with blood! The fruit would be picked with a long stem and when it’s cut the fruit would be immediately turned upside down to harmlessly remove the excess sap. The wound would be then treated to avoid any fungal disease.

RN Team and a Peruvian Exporter

Friday, 07 August 2015 by Rebecca Mugglestone

The best negotiations are made on a farm! Every year the directors themselves are visiting each mango exporter to discuss the season and the best place to do that is under a mango tree. Each supplier is very proud of their farms as it is a continuous work to improve production. On a background some mangoes are covered with paper- that is to protect them from burning under the sun. That’s how precise the farmers are!

The site meets the strictest UK requirements on safety and quality as well as gives many Casma residents a place to work and develop a carrier.
