Why champignon farms become oyster farms? Visit to Bispora Trade in Romania

In Romania we visited oyster farm Bispora Trade. It has 6 modern growing rooms. Mushrooms here are grown on the racks (actually usual champignon racks), there are control computers, climate control systems. Bispora Trade started to operate in 2014 as champignon production. After four years the owners decided to switch to oysters from button mushrooms. As the owner Corina Tiganas tells – for her to produce oysters is much easier. And that is not about making the right temperature or humidity.

Monitoring of mushrooms in the supermarket of Uzbekistan

This is what a fruit and vegetable shelf looks like in Tashkent. We don’t find mushrooms there. – No, there are no mushrooms, – an employee of a large Makro supermarket in the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, in the Chelanzar district, tells us. To our question, there are no mushrooms now or they never being sold here at all, she says that at all. – People rarely take mushrooms here, – she explain to us. As for pickled mushrooms, they are represented by a fairly wide range compared to the complete absence of fresh mushrooms. There are Chinese Lorado (3.6 euros for 580 ml), Bonduelle (2.5 euros for 280 grams). Also on the shelf are two products that look local (or possibly imported but packaged in Uzbekistan). “Master of Taste”, for a liter jar 3.3 euros and Foodmaxx also in a liter – 3.7 euros.
