📄 Abstract
Agriculture is the backbone of India, underpinning the country's economy and sustaining the livelihoods of a significant portion of its population by contributing 18 percent gross domestic product in agriculture sector directly and indirectly. Within this vital sector, allied agricultural activities play a crucial role in enhancing agricultural economics by contributing to rural development, income diversification, employment generation, and sustainability. Among these activities, mushroom cultivation has emerged as a significant area of focus. This study aims to analyse the production in mushroom cultivation and examine the schemes available to support its growth. The compound annual growth rate for mushroom production has been calculated, revealing that states like Bihar, Jharkhand, and Rajasthan have exhibited sharp increases in production, while others like Madhya Pradesh and Nagaland have shown mild yet steady growth. The production data indicates that the mushroom industry in the northern region is expanding comparing to southern region.
