The Agriculture sector is entering a phase of vigorously implementing a restructuring project through a value chain production model. And the value chain - success or not depends entirely on the links in the chain. If these links are fragmented and lack connection, it will inhibit the development of the entire value chain.

One of those links is the mushroom industry. Vietnam is an agricultural country, rich in forestry potential due to the source of by-products from agriculture and forestry (straw, bagasse, corn stalks, corn cobs...) reaching over 40 million tons/year, this is a suitable source of raw materials for growing mushrooms. Besides, the natural conditions (temperature, humidity...) of our country are very suitable for growing many species of mushrooms. Currently, mushroom farming is being promoted in localities across the country and is a significant source of income in the process of restructuring agricultural and rural crops. The above comments have been specifically evaluated in the report (current situation and solutions for mushroom development in the Northern provinces - Conference on mushroom development in the Northern provinces, Do Son - Hai Phong September 22, 2011).

In particular, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 439/QD-TTg dated April 16, 2012 approving the National Product List implemented from 2012 under the National Product Development Program to 2020, in which edible and medicinal mushroom products are one of nine products prioritized for development.

Using agricultural by-products to cultivate mushrooms instead of sawdust is the optimal solution to take advantage of and increase the value of the entire agricultural chain, so every province in Vietnam can develop well.

Through analyzing and evaluating the research and development of production and consumption of edible and medicinal mushroom products in the world and the current status of mushroom production in Vietnam. We can say that the current mushroom industry is an extremely important link in Vietnam's agricultural industry. It is possible to bring more diversity of agricultural products to the international market.
