sell mushroom fruiting bags. You can they buy fruiting bags that you can
grow mushrooms from. They usually give big discounts if you buy in bulk.

avoid any problem. If you will buy more that one thousand fruiting bags, it
is always better if you have a buying contract.

accommodate 1,200 pcs. of fruiting bags which can give you an average
of 10-15 kilos of fresh mushroom per week.

produce, like restaurants, supermarkets, hotels, or even catering services.

- Psalm 90:17
R - RETAILER/RESELLER
You can also start by trading mushroom spawn, fruiting bags or even
equipment and materials that are used in growing and producing
mushrooms. You may already have few fruiting bags that you grow
mushrooms from, where you get your fresh mushroom for personal
consumption, or maybe you are already selling a few kilos of fresh
mushroom to your neighbors and friends.
Then you see the growing demand for more fresh mushrooms from your
neighbors and some of your friends would also like to grow mushroom at
their own home. This is a great time to contact other mushroom grower or
farms to buy mushrooms and fruiting bags at a wholesale price and then
retail it for a profit.
You can also provide training on how to grow mushroom and sell
starting kits to your attendees. The starter kit may include grain spawns
and some tools and equipment necessary to start their own mushroom
growing journey.
- Colossians 3:23-24
T - TRAIN / TEACH
Teaching is also one of the best and easiest way to market other
mushroom products, either your own products or someone else’s product
that you are reselling. If you think about it, if someone asks you if you
know how to market or sell a certain products, most of us don’t have a
clue or the knowledge how. But, if someone ask you if you can teach
someone to do certain things like growing mushroom, most of us can
easily teach someone how to do it.

conducive place to grow mushroom and of course a readily available

won’t hurt if you try to outsource some of the aspects that can result in
more profits, especially those areas that are not your strength. Then you
can focus on the things that you can thrive, that you are passionate about
and plays on your strength.
-Proverbs 16:3
