Key Highlights of the Report:

• Button mushrooms make up over 70% of the mushrooms grown in India because it is grown well in many types of weather, are used in lots of dishes, and have well-built farms in places like Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh.

• Government programs like the National Horticulture Board schemes and the MIDH training programs are helping mushroom farming by offering subsidies and advice to small-scale farmers, so more people can try growing mushrooms.

• India’s mushroom exports, mostly going to the US, UAE, and Europe, are getting better all the time. The emergence of products like dried mushrooms, powders, and meal kits has helped mushroom farmers keep their produce fresh for longer and make it easier for more people to buy them, helping the industry grow in more ways.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, The India Mushroom Market is expected to reach USD Million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 12.50% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The leading reason for the India mushroom market’s growth is that more people are becoming aware of the health benefits of mushrooms, specifically their rich plant protein. Additionally, shifting to vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, as well as urbanization, causes demand to rise both for fresh and processed mushroom products. Moreover, governments offering horticulture schemes and subsidies motivate farmers and entrepreneur-farmers to take up growing mushrooms for business.

For instance, in January 2025, the Bihar government, under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, promoted mushroom farming as a profitable venture by offering substantial support to cultivators. The government aimed to help farmers minimize potential losses by providing financial assistance and guidance.

The Horticulture Directorate of the Agriculture Department launched a “Mushroom Production in Huts” scheme, which covers 50% of the initial setup costs. The scheme operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with each applicant eligible for support for only one unit.
