Current Situation & Market Potential
Mushroom farming is quietly growing across the Philippines — and the demand keeps rising.
👉 Wood ear mushrooms (“tenga ng daga”) are used daily in soups, pancit, and many Filipino dishes.
🍄 High Demand, Limited Supply
Restaurants, markets, and sari-sari stores often import dried mushrooms — local production can’t meet demand.
💰 Low Investment, Fast Returns
Each growing cycle takes only 2–3 weeks; small-scale growers earn ₱5,000–₱50,000 monthly.
🌿 Perfect for the Philippine Climate
This is a golden opportunity for home-based growers and green agri-entrepreneurs to start small — and grow big.
📈 The market for clean, locally-grown mushrooms is expanding rapidly.
Warm, humid weather makes mushroom cultivation easy and sustainable.
