Russia has seen a significant increase in cultivated mushroom production, with a 80.2% rise to 86.3 thousand tons in 2020. The main regions for mushroom cultivation are the Kursk region, Krasnodar Territory, and the Tula region. The government supports manufacturers with preferential lending, and last year, mushroom products were added to the list of agricultural products for taxation purposes. This has led to internal competition in the sector, with a focus on optimizing production processes and increasing product range and competitiveness.
