8. Government Initiatives
 National Rice Program launched the Community-Based Mushroom
Production (CBMP) Project involving all DA- Regional Field Offices
including the Bureau of Plant Industry, Bureau of Soil and Water
Management, and PhilRICE in implementing and promoting the
mushroom project.
 Raise farm productivity and income in rice-based farming
communities.
 Increase and improve nutritional quality of food supply in the rural
areas
 Utilize farm waste materials in the production of edible
mushrooms (rice straw, rice hull, and others)

9. Government Initiatives
Project Components:
A. On-station Mushroom Technology
Modules
 Mother Culture & Spawn
Production thru Tissue Culture Method

10. Government Initiatives
Project components:
 Mushroom Fruiting Bags and
Fruit Production
 Mushroom postharvest,
processing, & marketing
 Mushroom spent and culture
media disposal / utilization
B. Community-Based Mushroom
Enterprise Establishment
C. Mushroom research and
development

11. Government Initiatives
 Simplification of mushroom cultivation technology for
reduction of cost of production;
 Developed cultivation technology for other high-end type
mushroom species like shiitake, button and king oyster
mushrooms to increase domestic production that would
eventually reduce the volume of mushroom importation
 Year-round availability of spawn by producing 52,324 bags of
spawn cultures;
 Bioconversion of rice farm wastes and other agri-wastes for
the production of 94,500 fruiting bags of edible mushrooms;
 Contributed 9,549.78 kgs supply of fresh mushroom;

12. Government Initiatives
 Contributed 9,549.78 kgs supply of fresh mushroom;
 Recycled spent mushroom substrate through vermicomposting as
bio-fertilizers;
 Developed and packaged 29 kinds of mushroom by- products;
 Promoted mushroom technology through distribution of 18,450
brochures
 Mushroom awareness on its nutritional value among children
through school caravan.
 Empowered the 12,556 various clients/beneficiaries in mushroom
production through community-based trainings
 Established 100 community based mushroom enterprises involving
2,277 farmers in 31 provinces nationwide which contributed in
volume of production of fresh mushroom

13. Government Initiatives
 Improve bioconversion of lignocellulosic substrates thereby
increasing biological efficiency
 Strain selection
 Increase country’s fresh mushroom for local consumption
 Develop cultivation technology of high-end type mushroom
varieties to reduce volume of importation
(shiitake, button, and others)
 Generation of income and job opportunities
 Palatable food as vegetable of the future
