Wenzhou businessman returns home to grow lion's mane mushrooms, annual output value per mu expected to reach 40,000 yuan
At the Mazhan lion's mane mushroom base, mushroom farmers are picking lion's mane mushrooms.
The lion's mane mushrooms in the "lion's mane mushroom biscuits" you bought may well come from Cangnan. According to information from the Cangnan County Agriculture Bureau, the lion's mane mushrooms invested in and planted in Mazhan, Cangnan, by a returning Wenzhou businessman are now being harvested in abundance, and all are produced under an order-based production model, exclusively supplied to the domestic pharmaceutical and food giant Jiangzhong Group for making lion's mane mushroom biscuits. This also means that this returning Wenzhou businessman's investment project has succeeded after more than a year of exploration.
Yesterday, in the lion's mane mushroom sheds of Zhejiang Kangshuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd., invested in by returning Wenzhou businessman Su Miaojun, the reporter saw snow-white, plump mushrooms resembling little monkey heads scattered neatly, "climbing" on rows of orderly arranged mushroom sticks. With a gentle twist, the "little monkey heads" obediently came off the mushroom sticks, went into baskets and were sent to the processing room for drying, then carefully packed and shipped to Jiangzhong Group.
It is understood that returning Wenzhou businessman Su Miaojun spent many years away from home in the traditional Chinese medicine market and engaged in traditional Chinese medicine research and development and cultivation, and invested in traditional Chinese medicine cultivation bases and traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece production in Fujian. He is a major supplier and producer of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces in China, and works closely with leading pharmaceutical companies such as Jiangzhong Group.
Mazhan Town, where Zhejiang Kangshuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is located, is the "Home of Edible Fungi in China" and has a history of mushroom cultivation of more than 40 years. "But in recent years, mushroom prices have frequently declined, and the market prospects have been bleak." Lin Chuping, party secretary of Qipan Village in Mazhan Town, a major mushroom cultivation village, said that with the support and help of the Agriculture Bureau and other relevant departments, Qipan Village approached the returning Wenzhou businessman and attracted Zhejiang Kangshuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd. to invest back home. The company signed order-based contracts with mushroom farmers to grow lion's mane mushrooms, and the lion's mane mushrooms produced are exclusively supplied to Jiangzhong Group, forming guarantees and a win-win situation from production to sales.
At present, the lion's mane mushroom cultivation base area is still only more than 100 mu, and the enterprise's investment over 3 years has reached about 126 million yuan, with mushrooms already emerging in early last year. After a year of exploration last year, this year's lion's mane mushrooms can be harvested four times, each mushroom stick can produce about 2 jin of mushrooms, and the total output is expected to reach about 2 million jin. The output value per mu over two production seasons is expected to reach about 40,000 yuan. The person in charge of Zhejiang Kangshuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd. said that next, the enterprise will continue to increase investment and promote the lion's mane mushroom cultivation area.
