Scheme of Mushroom production (small unit) with the investment of Rs30,000/(Thirty thousand only)
Introduction:
Mushroom is a palatable food accepted by people as daily diet and alternative to
meat & fish. Also it is a vegetarian diet but gives nutrition of non-veg such as some
essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Straw, the main raw materials is plentily
available. There is no constraint to get spawn, as so many spawn units are there in
the State. Now a days people are fond of consuming mushroom in different ways like
curry, snacks, soup, salad, mixed with rice, & pickle etc. Technology is simple with
low cost & easily available to the interested entrepreneur. It is a quick returning crop
with 50 to 100% profit for which financial support from any financial agencies are easy
to get. Thus mushroom cultivation is a another source for self employment of
unemployed school and college drop outs.
