About the Virtual Agribusiness Leadership Program
Scientific Mushroom Production and Management
India is producing about 1.81 lakh tonnes of mushroom per annum in comparison to 330
lakh tonnes in China. With more than 1.37 billion population, the availability is very meagre
as the production is very low. India is having more than 700 million tonnes of agri-residue
which is not utilized commercially on large scale. If about 1-2% of the agri-residue is
utilized India can produce about 15-20 lakh tonnes of protein rich mushroom which will
help to combat the malnutrition along with livelihood opportunities in the rural areas
Further, the land and water requirement for the cultivation of mushroom is low compared
to other field and horticultural crops. Overall mushroom cultivation demands very good
entrepreneurship and leadership with low cost.
Target beneficiaries
• Junior and middle level managers from horticulture industry engaged in the production,
marketing, quality assurance or business development etc.
• Teaching, research & extension staff of universities or institutes willing to upgrade their
knowledge and skill in mushroom production & management.
• Students & Entrepreneurs willing to start their mushroom production & management
business.
• Rural youth for self-employment.
