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.

In general, Shiitake cultivation by farmers is placed as “Agriculture” because of no air-conditioning equipments. “Agriculture” cannot have guarantees from banks and all prefectures’ Credit Guarantee Corporation. 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.
