The industry for shiitake as well as other speciality mushrooms is constantly expanding on a global scale. Imperial Garden Biotech is a Chinese corporation that supplies the global speciality mushroom and shiitake sector. The company manufactures and exports substrate logs all over the world. These logs can be used to grow shiitake mushrooms in 15 days by international clients and gardeners. “Our main target is the international shiitake market,” says Harrison Feng, the company’s head of sales. Shiitake substrate accounts for 90% of our output. We also make substrate for a variety of different mushroom kinds, including the medical lion mane mushroom, lingzhi, and maitake varieties. We chose shiitake mushrooms as our specialty since they are a well-known kind that is well-liked and appreciated by people all around the world.”
The firm serves a wide range of global markets, including Japan, South Korea, Europe, and the United States. “The market for unusual mushrooms is expanding. If consumers are looking for meat substitutes, they learn about numerous mushroom species. Because we are reaching out to new businesses around the world, some people are unfamiliar with Chinese shiitake substrate and have questions regarding the material, quality, and yield. Usually, we can answer these queries by communicating with them and displaying our facility. Clients are usually concerned with output and price, and they aren’t searching for a branded product.”
The company produces shiitake substrate logs all year. Seasonality has no effect on the production process because the substrate is grown in auto air regulated facilities. “Most of our producers have excellent growing facilities and can produce mushrooms all year,” Harrison explains. The global market has been growing at a rate of 5% to 7% each year for the past few years. Covid-19, on the other hand, is expected to expand slowly. Although numbers are tough to predict, we expect future growth will be slightly higher.”
