Mushrooms gain popularity in Germany
The German mushroom market saw some progress in 2011, after a clear rise in 2010. The consumption of industrial mushrooms has been going down for years, a fact that hasn?t changed in 2011. But in general, the market is a positive one, seeing as the sales of fresh mushrooms went up with 2% last year, and 8% before that. Brown mushrooms in particular are gaining popularity.
Over half of the German mushrooms are imported. Domestic cultivation was about 62,000 tons in 2011, some 2000 tons more than in 2010. Both Holland and Poland are the most important suppliers of mushrooms, with 30,000 tons each. Hungary, with just 500 tons, is in third place.
