Earthy Delights Mushrooms was started in September, 2024 and deals in cultivating& selling of fresh and dried oyster mushrooms.

Our mushroom business was founded to address a significant gap in the market. While the demand for mushrooms has been consistently high, the supply has not been able to keep up. Recognizing this opportunity, we have strategically positioned ourselves to meet the growing demand in Kampala City.

Kampala City, with a population of 1,500,000 people according to UBOS, is served by just 5,000 mushroom growers, making it a highly viable market for mushroom cultivation. We have capitalized on this opportunity by not only producing high-quality mushrooms but also educating our customers on the medicinal and nutritional benefits of incorporating mushrooms into their diets. This education further boosts the already strong demand.

To sustain this demand, I will implement a monthly inoculation process for new gardens, ensuring that mushrooms are available daily rather than seasonally. Additionally, through value addition efforts such as drying and powdering mushrooms, we offer products that can be stored for up to six months, alleviating concerns about perishability.

Currently, we shall look at supplying restaurants and homesteads in our locality. However, with our commitment to quality and excellent customer service, we expect to increase our supply to supermarkets and grocery stores by the end of the year.
