While talking to media, Dr. Prakash Bhosale said ”Commercial mushroom cultivation in India has started recently and growing mushroom under controlled condition is of recent origin. Its popularity is increasing day by day and it has become a business that is export-oriented. Mushroom is an excellent source of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, fibers, minerals, folic acid and is a good source of iron for anemic patients and is described as one of the best options to convert agro-wastes into quality proteins. Per capita consumption of mushrooms in India has increased from 25 g to 40 g in the last 10 years. However as per Indian estimates per capita consumption in India is about 90 g, which is very less compared to and China (1.16 kg). It is clear China is the biggest competitor, for mushrooms from India. There is no denying the fact that production of mushrooms, especially of the white button mushroom, in India, has gone up in the last few years but it has also exacerbated its marketing problems.”
