In connection with the Company’s strategic investment into Champignon, Auralite has amended its investment policy to include the health and wellness sector and has formally assembled a dedicated health and wellness investment committee to explore complementary investments within this burgeoning industry. Auralite is of the belief that the health and wellness sector provides significant opportunities and the Company looks forward to evaluating potential investments.

Robert Meister, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Auralite stated: “The global mushroom market accounted for US$38.13 billion in 2017 and is forecasted to expand at a CAGR of 7.9 per cent from 2018 to 20261. This growth will be further bolstered by the increasing demand for meat substitutes, as well as shifting consumer preference towards plant-based foods. Leveraging its newly formed health and wellness committee, Auralite will look to actively pursue alpha generating investments within this flourishing sector.”
