Mushroom Farming: High Profits, Low Investment, Government Subsidies for Farmers

• Mushroom farming offers high profits compared to traditional crops like wheat and paddy, which face rising costs and decreasing returns.
• Mushrooms can be cultivated in dark rooms with controlled temperature and humidity, eliminating the need for fertile land or strong sunlight.
• Farmers can earn up to 80,000 rupees from a 10x10 meter area, with harvests possible 3-4 times from a single spawn.
• The government provides significant subsidies: 40-50% for general/backward classes and up to 100% for Scheduled Caste farmers through Gramodyog or District Horticulture Office.
• Farmers receive training and financial assistance by registering with their local Horticulture Department.

Why It Matters: Mushroom farming offers significant income potential with low investment and strong government support for farmers.
