Introducing the plan of entering from another business

     Recently, Japan has been facing the worst recession in business

from the past. Especially in constructing business, the public works

and private operations may have reduced by half. In that situation,

cultivating Shiitake has been gathering attention of people who try

to make good use of excess personnel or idle lands or idle facilities.

 

Why fungi-bed-cultivated Shiitake?

 

    Recently, major companies and food-service industries’ entering to agricultural

business is becoming news. In such situation, entering to agriculture has been

booming for companies and corporations. However, common vegetables on major

company’s scale need a large area.

    On the contrary, fungi-bed-cultivated Shiitake enables to be grown in the house of comparably small area. In addition, it takes only a week from growing to harvesting if you use fully ripe mushroom beds. It directly leads to income; by reason of that people seem to be starting to enter business of fungi-bed-cultivated Shiitake.

    This time we are introducing our company’s continuous growing system for fungi-bed-cultivated mushroom. The system maintains the best environment for Shiitake because of air-conditioning, sprinkling and ventilating equipments.  It enables to grow fungi-bed-cultivated Shiitake continually for a whole year. By using Control Box, you can manage your house’s environment automatically.

However, our development of Shiitake cultivation system equipping air-conditioner allows continuous and steady production and shipment so that it is placed as “Manufacturing Industry”. “Manufacturing Industry” has guarantees from banks and all prefectures’ Credit Guarantee Corporation. If you are entering the mushroom production from another business field, you will be guaranteed too by Credit Guarantee Corporation.

    Cultivating Shiitake used to be done in bed log made from row wood. Cultivating in bed log has many difficulties: heavy labor, long period until harvesting, complicated management. On the contrary cultivating in fungi bed doesn’t need hard work even for elderly and women. The reason is the weigh of the fungi bed; it is handy block-shaped and formed by sawdust and fungi of Shiitake.

    Recently, employment of handicapped people has been decreasing under a recession. Shiitake cultivation in fungi bed doesn’t need heavy labor so that it is one of job which everyone can work. By employing handicapped people, at a point of contribution to society you can appeal to the local society and raise the image of your company. Also, Japanese government offers companies a subsidy for employing handicapped people. There are lease subsidies, facility subsidies and so on. If you make use of these systems you will be able to reduce the production cost on a long term basis.
