Mushroom Farming Business

Mushroom farming is a highly profitable small scale agri-business that can be started indoors with minimal space. Oyster and button mushrooms are cultivated on substrate bags made from straw and rice husks inside a climate-controlled room or shed. Mushrooms have a fast growth cycle of 25–30 days and can be harvested multiple times from the same substrate. Demand for fresh mushrooms is growing among households, restaurants, hotels and health-conscious consumers. This business requires no farmland and can be started in a small room or shed.
