Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to determine the profitability of white button mushroom cultivation in Himachal Pradesh. Shimla, Solan, Mandi, and Kangra districts were chosen as commercial mushroom cultivation in Himachal Pradesh is mostly confined to these areas. A sample of 215 farmers from these areas were chosen using simple random sampling. The cost of white button mushroom cultivation per 100 bags was found to be ₹19,457.83. The projected net returns per 100 bags were ₹16,440.39, and the output-input ratio meant that each rupee spent in the research area would provide a profit of 1.84. The findings showed that growing white button mushrooms in the research area is a profitable venture.
