Mushroom Farming in India: Profitable Guide & Techniques
Mushroom Farming in India: Profitable Guide & Techniques

Mushroom Farming: Mushrooms are edible fungi that grow on moist surfaces such as wood or other organic matter. Not all types of mushrooms are edible, but the edible ones have a good market. Mushroom farming is a booming sector in agribusiness in India. The low investment and low maintenance features are attracting people to this business. This is mainly done as a part-time or alternative income.

Due to the favourable climate, mushroom farming in Kerala is third in the country. The State Government is conducting various training sessions in mushroom farming in Bihar. Mushroom farming in Gujarat is done by homemakers, professionals, and some students as well. The expected income is INR 1000 per sq ft onwards. The average price per kg of mushroom is INR 150 and each bag will carry approximately 1 kg of mushroom. The per kg price varies in each state. It is INR 189 in Kerala, INR 180-200 in Bihar, and INR 130 in Gujarat.

What will be a good mushroom farming business plan?

If you are planning mushroom farming, the first thing you need is a proper plan on how to do the farming, what is the process behind it, the techniques to use, and most importantly, its market. This business requires very less space and minimal investment. It grows in sawdust or wooden pieces or a mix of any of these items, etc. So, you do not have to worry too much about the budget. You must choose the species carefully and understand what season is ideal for which species.

Types of mushroom farming in India

Three types of mushrooms are used for mushroom farming in India. They are button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and paddy straw mushrooms. Button mushroom farming is mainly done in the winter season when the weather conditions are most suitable. The Oyster mushroom likes the northern plains for its growth. The paddy straw mushrooms are ideal to grow in areas where the temperature ranges from 35-40 degrees Celsius. Button mushrooms are the most popular type used for farming which has a larger market. They are white in colour and attractive.

How to start small-scale mushroom farming?

It involves various steps that are simple but need to be done diligently. Here, we will see the details about button mushroom farming.

Step 1- Composting

  • Making compost is the first step of mushroom farming. It must be done carefully in the open on flat trays. It should have proper drainage to avoid liquid accumulation. It should also be protected from rain. Compost can be natural or synthetic.
  • Synthetic compost is made using bran, calcium ammonium nitrate/ammonium sulphate gypsum, urea, and wheat straw. They are mixed well and soaked in water using a sprinkling method and made into a pile.
  • Natural compost consists of wheat straw and gypsum mixed with horse dung and poultry manure. Only fresh manure is used for compost making. Sprinkle water to wet the wheat straw, mix well and let it ferment. Turn the compost pile regularly and keep it wet. When you get the smell of ammonia, it means that it is decomposing. Using natural compost makes it organic mushroom farming.
  • When the compost is ready to use, they are filled into the designated trays at a thickness of 15-18 cm. The filling should be moist and maintained.

Step 2- Spawning

This is the process of sowing the mushroom mycelium. You can either sprinkle it on the compost filling or mix it well with the compost before filling the trays. After sowing, cover it with newspapers and sprinkle it with water to keep it moist.

Step 3- Casing soil

Casing soil is spread over the mushrooms. This is the soil mixed with cow dung and filtered thoroughly and sterilised to eliminate microbes. Spread it over the compost and maintain a high temperature near 27 degrees for 72 hrs.

Step 4- Cropping

This is the stage after 15 days when the ‘buttons’ on the button mushrooms are prominent and tight on their stems. They are ready for harvesting.

Step 5- Harvesting

Gently pressing against the soil, slowly twist the caps to loosen them. Take the caps off leaving the soiled stem on the tray.

How profitable is mushroom farming in India?

Uttar Pradesh, Tripura, and Kerala are the highest mushroom-producing states. Mushroom farming profit in India is at least INR 1000 per sq. ft. area. The upper margin of the profit in mushroom farming in India can be much higher with large-scale production. The profit depends on the area you use for farming, the type of mushroom you use, and the best market you find. If you feel that you can find all of these, then you can surely do mushroom farming.

Fish Farming: Fish Pond Preparation

By

Fish is a popular food item for many across the world. Statistics show that almost 60% of Indians live to have fish on their menu. There is a steady increase in demand for fish and it is not easy for the farmers to meet this requirement. Thus fish farming in India has emerged as a popular farming idea and people are eagerly developing fish farming business plans.

The profitable fish farming earnings range from INR 3000 to 9000 for a small unit. Depending on the size of your farm, you may have to spend up to INR 25,000 to 50,000 and get an overall earnings of  INR 2-4 lakhs per acre, at a rate of INR 100 to 140 per kg of fish. Needless to say that the price will be different for each state. Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, and Gujarat are the highest fish producers in India.

What is Pisciculture?

Pisciculture is the scientific term used for fish farming which generally involves processes such as rearing and breeding the fishes in an artificial environment. It also refers to the commercial farming of fish. There are different methods of fish farming which we will discuss here.

Types of fish farming

The main types of fish farming include aquaculture, pond fish farming, and biofloc fish farming.

  1. Aquaculture means growing aquatic organisms in controlled aquatic mediums on a large scale. Fish farming is the most common aquaculture practice. With proper food, quality water, and controlled temperature, it is one of the easiest methods to gain profit in fish farming.
  2. Biofloc Fish Farming (BFT) is a type of water treatment plant having microorganisms that can break down high nitrogen content and balance the nutrient supply. It is integrated with fish farming to provide a continuous nutrient supply for the growing fish. Only certain types of fish can be grown in these controlled systems such as a pond or tank but they can get high nutrition and will also be safe for the environment.
  3. Pond fish farming is an artificial aquatic system where fish are grown, Shellfish and fin fishes are the most common types grown in these systems.

How to start fish farming?

Whether you are starting simple fish farming in Kerala or extensive fish farming in Assam, there are certain procedures to be followed. Before you start a fish farming business do proper research to understand the process, preparatory methods, and the various rules and regulations involved in a fish farm. To get profits from your efforts, you should have a strong business plan for fish farming.

  • Step 1

Preparing the pond is the first step. A pond can be temporary or permanent. The former is used for seasonal fish farming for some fast-growing species. You must also set up water inlets and outlets, etc. You should also take measures to optimize the pH level of the water. It will be different for each fish species.

  • Step 2

Choosing suitable breeds of fish is the next step. You should consider the growing environments, market demands, and maintenance methods before choosing the breeds. You may do monoculture (growing a single type of fish) or polyculture (growing different types of fish together).

  • Step 3

The next step is the maintenance of the growing environment of fish culture. This involves taking care of the fish, maintaining water pH levels, feeding them, changing the water etc. You should also scout on a daily basis to remove any unhealthy fish from the pond. Taking proper measures to treat and prevent diseases in the fish farm is also an important step involved here.

  • Step 4

The final step is to find a market for your yield. You may choose the local market or choose to export the fish. The former will be easier but will get you fewer profits than the latter option. As a beginner, sticking to the local market will help you be successful. Once you have established your fish farm, you can go to the next level.

Is fish farming profitable?

Yes, fish farming is a lucrative business in India. Fish farming in Bihar will be a good choice as it has an Aquatic Animal Health Lab to support the farmers. Studies show that fish farming in UP is steadily increasing with more profits for the farmers. It is the integrated fish farming in Tamil Nadu which is gaining momentum in that state. Fish farming in Punjab had the highest freshwater yield last year.

Conclusion

Setting up a commercial fish farm may be difficult. But once you have all the necessary things in place it is easier to maintain and get good benefits. It may take a bit longer for you to start getting profits. But once you establish yourself, the market is steadily growing for you to get continuous benefits.

  • Strengthen the functioning of the semen stations in various states.  
  • Helps implement the National Digital Livestock Mission and promotes Artificial Insemination Network. 
  • Helps create awareness of these techniques among the farmers. 
  • It will boost the Research Development and Innovation in Bovine Breeding. 
  • It will also promote skill development in this field for interested farmers.

The drawback of Kamdhenu Aayog

  • The project can start only with a proper project plan which will be reviewed and approved by the Project Sanctioning Committee (PSC). So it can take longer to have the project implemented finally.  
  • Currently, there is no direct helpline number for the Kamdhenu Ayog. It will currently be under the National Animal Disease Control Programme. 
  • Although awareness programs are promoted for the farmers to help with this scheme, until they fully understand the benefits, the project’s success will be slow.  
  • Moreover, the need for more scientific studies is crucial before implementation.

How to Apply?

The project does not accept direct applications. The project implementation is through the states via Implementing Agencies, which will direct the funding to the participating agencies. There are several stages for this program to be functional, with several aspects and departments. So there has yet to be a single window application process for this scheme.

At the same time, similar schemes are functional in various states. The state-authorized procedures will have specific dates for application, and you can enquire about the same with your local authorities for more details.

Documents Required

The list of actual documents will be notified later. The general documents required for the Rashtriya Kamdhenu Scheme are,  

  • Aadhar card of the participant
  • PAN card
  • Certificate from the bank where the account is opened
  • Land ownership or shed ownership certificate
  • Passport size photograph
  • Caste certificate for reserved categories such as SC/ST
  • Residence or address proof
  • Income certificate
  • Project approval copy

Conclusion

The success of small-scale projects of the same line of the Rashtriya Kamdhenu Scheme in different states encourages projects promoting the indigenous gene pool of cattle breeds. It can be a game changer for the farmers and the country when implemented well and successfully. The farmers can double their income with less investment and ample support from the authorities. India, already the largest milk producer, can effectively push the Make In India program further.

  • In addition, the scheme was initiated aiming to increase the income of the farmers, but having subsidised loans will not be sufficient to attain the goal.  
  • Those applying for the fisheries sector must already own a fishing boat or other vessels to be eligible for this scheme. They must also have permission for fishing in the sea or other areas before applying for this card.  
  • For loan amounts of more than 3 lakhs, the interest rate will be as per the RBI regulations. The subsidised interest rate is applicable only up to INR 3 lakhs.
