US
based vegetable processor Simplot has announced that it may close vegetable
processing plants in Bathurst
(NSW) and Devonport (Tas).
The
Devonport plant employs 160 workers. The Bathurst
plant is Australia ’s
biggest corn-processing plant.
The
company blames cheap imported frozen vegetables for its problems. Tasmanian
vegetable growers who supply about 60,000 tonnes of vegetables each year to
Simplot are concerned by the announcement.
