Andhra Pradesh has launched its first Mushroom Mission with an investment of ₹13,000 crore.
The mission aims to make the state the largest mushroom producer in India.
It targets an annual production of 67,500 tonnes, higher than Bihar’s current output.
Around 1.62 lakh mushroom units will be set up across the state.
The scheme focuses on small farmers and Self-Help Groups (SHGs) for employment generation.
The government will provide about 40% subsidy support to promote participation.
