Significant events
- “During the financial year the company leased land with a view to growing a proportion of the products traded, providing the company with greater insight into the planting, growing and harvesting of produce.”
- “Additionally, the company leased pack house space while purchasing and installing a wash and grading line together with an automated packing line. Both of these operations add value while providing the company with greater control over the journey of the produce from field to fork.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
