The National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) 2022 Report reveals a decrease in the sales volume and value of the 2021-2022 mushroom crop in the United States, with a total of 702 million pounds and $1.02 billion in sales, marking a 7% and 4% drop, respectively, from the previous season. The average price per pound of mushrooms increased by 5 cents to $1.45. Despite these challenges, demand for mushrooms, especially brown, specialty, and organic varieties, continues to rise. The report also highlights a 32% increase in the value of sales for commercially grown specialty mushrooms and a 19% rise in the production of certified organic mushrooms. Factors such as global supply chain issues, reduced farm labor, and crop diseases have affected mushroom businesses, yet consumer interest in the health benefits of mushrooms remains strong.
