Cai Be district develops a model of growing mushroom at flood season

ABO - Using idle time during waiting for sowing winter-spring rice, many farmers in the Cai Be district use straw to develop mushroom cultivation model, bringing income at leisure time.

Farmers use straw after harvesting to grow straw mushrooms.

In recent years, farmers used straw after harvesting to grow mushrooms instead of firing as previously. Currently, with the price of fresh mushrooms consumed from VND 30,000 – 45,000/kg, especially the price reached over VND 50,000 VND/kg.

On average, one hectare of mushroom growing, farmers can earn about VND 70 million, bringing high economic efficiency as well as solving idle labor in rural areas on the flood season.

At present, mushroom growing model is developing in the northern communes of the National Highway 1 such as Hau My Trinh commune, Hau My Phu commune, Hau My Bac A commune, Thien Trung commune, My Tan commune and My Hoi commune to serve consumer demand and export processing.
