Mushroom

Mushroom cultivation in Assam is emerging as a high-value activity, suitable for small-scale farmers and entrepreneurs due to its low space requirements and high demand.

Mushroom production in Assam includes varieties such as oyster and button mushrooms, which are used in fresh and processed forms. The sector requires minimal land and offers high returns, making it suitable for small-scale entrepreneurs. Mushrooms are widely used in the food, health products, and hospitality sectors. From a fiscal perspective, processed mushroom products attract applicable GST rates, while exports are zero-rated and may be eligible for RoDTEP benefits. Imports of cultivation equipment may involve customs duties, with applicable incentives. From a non-fiscal perspective, compliance with food safety standards, hygiene, and packaging norms is essential. Export markets require adherence to international quality standards.
