About vegetables; mushrooms of the genus agaricus, fresh or chilled

HS code 070951 covers the import and export of fresh or chilled mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, a widely cultivated and consumed type of edible fungus. This industry plays a significant role in the global food supply chain, providing a nutritious and versatile ingredient for a variety of culinary applications. As consumer demand for fresh produce continues to grow, the trade of these mushrooms has become an increasingly important component of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

The production of Agaricus mushrooms typically involves a multi-stage process. Growers first prepare a substrate, often composed of composted organic materials like wheat straw or cotton seed hulls, which serves as the growing medium. Mushroom spawn, containing the fungal mycelium, is then introduced to the substrate, and the mixture is placed in controlled growing environments with optimal temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions. After the mushrooms have matured, they are carefully harvested, cleaned, and prepared for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the Agaricus mushroom industry include the raw materials used to create the growing substrate, such as 121000 Hay and fodder, 140490 Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, and 230690 Vegetable products, waste, residues and by-products. Additionally, specialized equipment for substrate preparation, mushroom cultivation, and post-harvest handling are essential. Skilled labor and technical expertise in mushroom cultivation techniques are also critical inputs for this industry.
