Production of edible mushroom and medicinal mushroom suit all regions of the country. Millions of rural workers will have food, employment, income stability, contributing to economic development, political and social security.

Investment capital to grow mushroom industry mainly raw materials, labor (accounting for 70 – 80 % of input) were available in the country. Growing mushrooms is not import any raw materials, supplies, fertilizer, ... from abroad as other manufacturing industries to create products with high economic value.

Waste transfer mushrooms to harvest compost, fertilizer quality is equivalent to the kind of good manure. Weather in Vietnam climate allows production of all fungi worldwide are farmed (about 100 species).

Since the 1970s, we began to pay attention to the research and production of mushrooms, so far has mastered the technology of breeding, raising, processing 18 types of mushrooms and medicinal mushrooms. These technologies are universal for many people applied to production.

Consumer market products domestically and fungi growing world. Worldwide there are about 5 million tons in circulation, of which China is the largest exporter of mushrooms, the U.S., Japan, Western Europe ... imports to domestic production mushrooms because not enough and the price is very high.

Even in our country are also imported some advanced fungus as needles, chicken, pearl magnet, shiitake, reishi from China, South Korea, Taiwan with number tens of thousands of tons/year. Predicting future demand fungus growing in both the domestic market and the world.

World Association recommends eating mushrooms: Fungi food and medicinal mushroom species eaten by people in the 21st century. Assessment of a civilized nation based on the average amount of fungal targets consumption/capita/year of that country kg is how much? There are some countries like the U.S., Japan, Germany are consuming 5 - 6 kg mushroom/ person/year.

Science and technology development mushroom

In recent decades, research institutes, universities, research centers in Vietnam have applied the results in the field of biotechnology, such as genetic engineering, tissue culture, mutant, fermentation technology ... from the laboratory to the production facility to selection, production, cultivation, processing of edible mushrooms and medicinal mushrooms.

Yield and quality of some fungi (black fungus, mushrooms) equivalent to China, Taiwan. Many other fungi only reached 60 - 70% yield and quality compared to the developed world.

Production of edible mushrooms and medicinal mushrooms requires implementation of a series of closed technology from the stage of breeding, material handling, farming environment, care, harvesting, storage, processing and pest control. This is a branch of agricultural biotechnology tech.

The other industries like power industry, construction, transportation, mechanical machinery, refrigeration, automation will grow in sync with manufacturing mushrooms. It is the device used in seed production, cultivation and processing of mushrooms such as disinfecting materials, high temperature control, low, sprinkler irrigation, aeration, cutting machines, pressed straw, sawdust mill, cob itself, mixing ingredients, close the bag, automatically seeded, cut mushrooms, dried, canned...

China has kept 1 summation professional mushroom growers will be adding 28 followers. Mushroom industry development will spur the industry to produce health supplements, medicines, functional foods, cosmetics...

Mushroom production in the country and the world

Every year the country produced about 250,000 tonnes of fresh mushrooms, straw mushrooms mainly, black mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, mushroom, Ganoderma ... total exports reached nearly $ 100 million/year, mainly salted mushroom, canned, dried black mushrooms, fresh mushrooms and salt. Export markets in over 20 countries but still not enough to meet demand.

Price and quality of exported mushrooms Vietnam can compete with China and other countries. Domestic demand is increasing in both quantity and price (an increase of over 10 %/year). The important thing is that we do not have to spend top dollar to spend in mushroom production.

The world each year produced nearly 30 million tons, of which China reached 20 million tons. The 1960 Taiwan territory mushroom exports reached $ 100 million/year and take the development of mushroom production as a breakthrough in the agricultural sector.

From 1980 to now, a number of provinces in China such as Fujian mushrooms are considered enrichment plant. Fujian has about 4 million people for growing mushrooms (accounting for over 10 % of the population). South Korea, Taiwan ... are importing sawdust, straw, corn cobs themselves from Vietnam and they produce mushrooms worth nearly $ 10 billion/year, exports to over 80 countries mushrooms.

Experience fungal development in China and South Korea are from the 1980s, government investment expenditure and technology import modern equipment from developed countries like USA, Netherlands... to industrialized production of mushrooms.

Development trends mushroom production has shifted to agriculture in countries including Vietnam, where many resources as raw materials for mushroom cultivation by the agricultural and light industrial creation, as well as water have abundant labor resources, low labor costs. Mushroom production is growing mechanization, automation and become a strong economy in the world.

Some countries such as Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, China and Vietnam are investing in order to production, processing and consumption of mushrooms (there are nearly 20 operating base from north to south). This is also the partner creates competition to promote Vietnam mushroom industry development.

Around the world, in industries beyond agriculture and livestock farming, mushroom also be classified in the manufacturing sector 3^rd

It should promote the application of advanced science and technology in the fields of biological, industrial, information ... for research and development of mushroom production quickly. Vietnam as a country strong in fungi. Striving to 2020, each year Vietnam is producing 1 million tons of mushrooms, jobs for 1 million workers, professional sales over $ 1 billion/year (including exports worth over 500 million USD).

Vietnam Construction mushroom industry become an industry sustainable economic development, brand around the world. Each year over 10 million tons of used materials (straw, sawdust, corn cob itself, bagasse ...) to produce 30 types of mushrooms.

Vietnam Construction mushroom industry become an industry sustainable economic development, brand around the world. Each year over 10 million tons of used materials (straw, sawdust, corn cob itself, bagasse ...) to produce 30 types of mushrooms.

Gradually bring mechanization, building factories specialized in producing mushrooms according to industrial scale, ensure stable supply quality mushrooms for the domestic market as well as exports.
