Tesco offering more locally grown produce
A Manx vegetable producer has told Manx Radio it's agreed a deal with a supermarket to help sell its surplus of stock.
At the Royal Agricultural Show earlier this month, the Manx National Farmers' Union handed out free potatoes in the hopes of 'embarrassing' supermarkets to offer more local produce.
Allansons, which grew the potatoes, says Tesco has now stepped in to sell more of its vegetables.
Owner Stuart Allanson says it's really helping with the extra quantities they have:
Andy Sanderson is Tesco's Store Director on the Island.
He says they want to help where they can:
'Unprecedented' situation after deemster in Island's first group litigation case resigns
Immigration changes designed to stop exploitation by 'bad eggs'
Plantation wood, telegraph poles and Satnav to be discussed in the House of Keys
Contingency budget for horse tram tracks 'significantly increased'
