At least 60 workers could miss out on their full entitlements after Australia’s largest tomato grower went into voluntary administration.

A triple whammy has brought SP Exports to its knees.

It has placed its operations at Childers, near Bundaberg in southern Queensland, and in Victoria, in the hands of administrators.

The company has been hit by two chemical oversprays from nearby properties, last year’s floods, and low prices since 2001.

Sixty Childers workers were lost their jobs on Friday, with only a skeleton staff kept on to help administrators.

A creditors meeting will be held in the town later this month, but the outlook is not bright for workers and unsecured creditors.

SP Exports had crops at Childers, Bundaberg and Echuca in Victoria.

KordaMentha partner John Shanahan said the company would try to trade out of its difficulties.

“We have to do an investigation to determine whether or not that is possible,” he told AAP.

Mr Shanahan said the company would pursue a potential $ 2.5 million insurance claim over the two chemical oversprays which ruined tomato crops.

But the company has debts of around $ 31 million.

“Preliminary investigations indicate unsecured creditors are owed approximately $ 12.5 million and secured creditors are owed $ 18 million,” he said.

“Employees are owed in excess of $ 500,000, however, assets available to meet unsecured creditors and employee claims are minimal.

“Administrators are currently trading in a limited capacity and are reviewing all future harvests and decisions in that regard.”

Growcom, the peak representative body for Queensland horticulture, said it was tragic to see such a large operation in trouble.

“We’re hoping that SP can trade its way out, sooner rather than later,” chief executive Alex Livingstone said.

“Just a couple of weeks ago there was a major glut of produce on the market.

“Growing conditions along the east coast have been pretty good and that’s led to an abundance of product, and as the supply increases the price goes down.”

SP Exports put more than 1160 hectares of farm land and four homes at Childers on the market last December as the company’s owners battled to keep it running.

Calls to SP Exports were not returned.

Eight persons were killed in the early hours of Sunday, when a tomato truck, on which they were travelling, was involved in an accident between Po in Burkina Faso, and Paga in Ghana.

Seven of them hailed from Navrongo and its adjoining communities in the Kassena-Nankana East District. One of the deceased comes from Sumbrungu in the Bolgatanga Municipality of the Upper East Region.

The accident occurred in front of a military training school at Po. Speaking to The Chronicle, some of the military officers explained that the driver of the truck, with registration number ER 184-12, attempted to avoid hitting a Peugeot car that crossed it, but lost control and veered off the road, landing the truck on the driver’s side.

The dead and injured were conveyed to the War Memorial Hospital in Navrongo. The bodies were on Monday released to their families for burial, while one person was still on admission at the same hospital.

According to the hospital authority, seven persons died on the spot, while the 8 th died on admission. The Navrongo Police declined to comment on the accident, because it was out of their operational area.

The Vice President of the Upper East Regional Vegetable Famers Association, Mr. Ahmed Bogobire, in a telephone interview, said the victims were among those who joined the truck to Burkina Faso and provided labour on the farms, where the tomatoes were loaded from.

On their return, they sat on top of the crates of tomatoes, but unfortunately for them, the car was involved in an accident, killing seven of them instantly, with one on admission at the hospital.

At the scene of the accident, tomatoes were scattered all over, including the clothes and food containers of the victims. Animals were also seen feeding on the tomatoes.

When contacted, the District Chief Executives for the Kassena-Nankana West and East Districts, Mr. Thomas Dalluh and Mr. Emmanuel Andemah respectively, said they were out of their districts and were not aware of the accident.

The agriculture industry hopes Australia’s largest tomato grower can trade its way out of trouble after it went into voluntary administration.

SP Exports has placed its operations at Childers near Bundaberg in southern Queensland, and in Victoria, in the hands of administrators.

At least 60 jobs will go in Childers and a creditors meeting will be held in the town later this month.

Growcom, the peak representative body for Queensland horticulture, said it was tragic to see such a large operation in trouble.

Growcom chief executive Alex Livingstone was hopeful the company could survive.

‘We’re hoping that SP can trade its way out, sooner rather than later,’ he said.

‘Just a couple of weeks ago there was a major glut of produce on the market.

‘Growing conditions along the east coast have been pretty good and that’s led to an abundance of product, and as the supply increases the price goes down.’

Mr Livingstone said the fruit and vegetable industry has been erratic this year.

‘It’s up and down, it depends on the commodity, and it depends on the week and it depends on supply not only from your own area but other areas as well.

‘I couldn’t say it’s abnormal but in some areas people are not getting a decent return for their product,’ he said.

SP Exports put more than 1160 hectares of farm land and four homes at Childers on the market last December as the company’s owners battled to keep it running.

In March 2011 more than a million dollars damage was caused to a crop of SP Exports’ cherry tomatoes in Childers after an alleged chemical spray drift from a nearby property.

AAP is seeking further comment from SP Exports.

LOOKING for a new snack or bored with white bread? Try out tomato pita bread.

Ali Amin, an Iranian, demonstrated the art of making the delectable Middle-Eastern fare at the Bread Affair, a community event organised by the Disted School of Hospitality recently to promote wider appreciation of the varieties of bread with the support of the local baking industry, hotel bakeries and home bakers.

“Pita bread, a leavened flat bread with a pocket, is a staple in many Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines.

Bread maker: Ali rolling a ball of pita dough into a flat circle during the demonstration.

“You can make pita bread that contains dried tomato skins and eat it with self-prepared tomato spread; hence, it’s called tomato pita bread.

“A pita sandwich too can be made by filling the pocket with your favourite salads and cooked vegetables.

“If you like, use pita bread instead of a bun to wrap around a hotdog and savour a different deliciousness,” said Ali, who holds a Diploma in Culinary Art, and has had working experience in hotels and will soon start his own food business.

“For a healthier diet, use multigrain or whole-wheat flour instead of white flour to make the bread.

“Nutritionally, pita bread adds to our dietary fibre, which is a key to maintaining a healthy digestive system. It also contains protein needed for body growth and repair, besides being very low in fat.

“Pita bread provides a healthier alternative to potato chips. It can be cut into triangles and toasted to become pita chips, and flavoured with some salt or herbs.

“However, for those who need to slash calories, pita bread has its downside of having a slightly higher amount of carbohydrates compared to the same helping of wholemeal bread,” he explained.

“As for storing, pita bread can be kept for about five days in the refrigerator wrapped in storage bags,” added Ali.
