Growing mushrooms as a business

The cultivation and sale of mushrooms in our country is one of the most profitable enterprises in agriculture. Oyster mushrooms and champignons are mainly grown at home. You can grow mushrooms in the summer at the cottage or in the garden, or open a full-scale year-round industrial production in the room equipped for this.

The popularity of mushroom dishes is explained by the population’s craving for natural products. Fungi not only do not contain carcinogens, but also remove harmful substances from the human body, preventing oncology and normalizing blood pressure. They are tasty and nutritious.

The grown products can be sold on their own or delivered to restaurants and supermarkets.

Starting this business for the first time is better in the summer. First, they collect documents, purchase equipment and solve all the necessary issues.

The mushroom growing business does not need a lot of money. They are grown in the basement, in the cellar, in the greenhouse. For starters, you can even use your own apartment.

Organizing industrial production, it will be necessary to pay attention to the following issues:

1. The production of mycelium.

2. Preparation of the substrate.

3. Sales of products.

The manufacture of substrate blocks is a rather complicated process, and requires a sterile room. With a small volume of production, it is unprofitable to prepare substrate blocks themselves. But you can not save on the quality of the seed. It is better to get more expensive products, but earn the respect of customers for their quality. Experienced mushroom growers increase profits by reducing fruiting. This allows you to reduce costs and cost and increase several times the profit from sales.

At the initial stage, the main task of the entrepreneur is to avoid losses and establish contacts for marketing products. Only after gaining the necessary knowledge and experience, we can think about expanding production. Additional income comes from the production of mushroom hemp. To do this, take hemp, drill holes in them and lay the seeds of mushrooms. Sprouted mycelium covers the entire stump with mushrooms. Such mushrooms are in demand among the population.

The mushroom business is simple, you just have to take it seriously. You can take training courses on growing mushrooms. In Russia, there are associations of entrepreneurs engaged in this business. There they communicate and share useful information.

Mushroom cultivation is profitable due to the low competition and small distribution of this business. And there is always a demand for products.
