How Dushanhe’s Mushroom Farming is Changing Lives

Dushanhe Group has become a hero for farmers in rural China, using mushroom farming to lift entire villages out of poverty. By focusing on high-value crops like morel mushrooms and black fungus, the company gives farmers a clear roadmap to earn more money. For example, in regions like Yunnan and Sichuan, farmers once struggled with low crop prices and unstable incomes. Now, Dushanhe provides free training, quality  mushroom spawn, and step-by-step guidance on planting techniques. This turns empty fields into profitable mushroom farms, where families can harvest crops multiple times a year. No fancy tech or big investments needed—just hard work and Dushanhe’s support.

The secret? Dushanhe’s “company + farmer” model. The company guarantees to buy all harvested mushrooms at fair prices, so farmers don’t worry about losing money. For those growing black fungus, Dushanhe even built processing factories nearby, turning raw mushrooms into dried products or powders that sell for higher prices. One farmer in Henan said, “Before, I earned barely enough to feed my kids. Now, with Dushanhe’s help, I own a tractor and my son is in college.” Stories like this are common—and they’re proof that mushroom farming isn’t just about crops; it’s about giving people hope and dignity.

But Dushanhe doesn’t stop there. To help farmers earn even more, the company created online sales channels and branded their products as “premium, eco-friendly goods.” Now, mushrooms from small villages are sold to cities and even exported abroad. Plus, Dushanhe teaches farmers to recycle farming waste into compost, protecting the environment while cutting costs. This creates a “win-win”: farmers grow richer, their land stays healthy, and their communities thrive. As one farmer put it, “We’re not just surviving anymore—we’re living with pride.”
