Frövi Greenery Halts Tomato Production, Over 100 Employees Laid Off

One of Sweden's largest tomato growers, Frövi Greenery in Lindesberg Municipality, is stopping production indefinitely due to heat problems, reports SVT Örebro.

We need to address the climate, otherwise we'll have the same problems again. During that time, we can't produce tomatoes, says CEO Dirk Aleven to the TV channel.

All employees have been laid off due to the production stop.

We had to let all employees go, and that's over 100 workers. The reason is that we don't know how long it will take to address the problem, says Aleven to SVT Örebro.
