Hey everyone! I'm 19 years old and I am really interest into growing oyster mushrooms so we have our own space of 100sq feet room where I can grow about 200 bags of oyster mushroom a month
I know there's a big market for fresh, locally grown mushrooms but I have zero experience selling anything. I'd love some advice from people who've done this before. Here are my questions
Q1.
Is ₹150–200/kg a fair retail price for fresh oyster mushrooms in India, or am I pricing wrong?
Q2.
How do I approach restaurants without getting rejected immediately? Any script/tips?
Q3.
Is FSSAI registration required to sell at a local scale as a 19-year-old? Any legal things I need to know?
Q4.
How do you handle shelf life? Oyster mushrooms go bad fast — any packaging tips to extend freshness?
Q5.
What was your first actual sale like and how did you find your first few regular customers?
Q6.
Any platforms in India (like Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, or local apps) worth trying for a small producer?
