Mushroom Contract Farming - Revised

The document discusses a proposed mushroom contract farming project in the Philippines using rice straw. It notes that mushrooms can provide an alternative protein source and be grown from rice straw. The project would initially target 10 establishments to produce oyster mushrooms, with a goal of increasing production by 20% annually over 3 years. It summarizes current demand, supply, and pricing information for mushrooms in the Philippines and outlines the proposed organizational structure and operations layout for the mushroom farming project.

Assumptions
1. Mushroom is a good source of protein
(34%CP by dry weight, UC Davis) and can be
an alternative to meat.
2. Mushroom industry is not a well-recognized
industry in the Philippines, hence data are
very dependent on the research and studies
available.
3. 8,600,000 tons of rice straw are burnt every
year in the Philippines.
4. Mushrooms can be grown from rice straw,
hence the primary target contract farmers
are well-established rice farmers.
