Penza farmers, who have focused on mushroom cultivation, expect serious support from Beijing. The fact is that last year Russia signed a lucrative contract with representatives of the Chinese electrical engineering company Zhongnenda.

The fact is that Zhongnenda specializes in growing agricultural crops. And today he is actively engaged in the construction of a large agricultural complex for growing oyster mushrooms in the Penza region, in the city of Shemysheyka. The capacity of the new mushroom complex will be impressive - company leaders plan to receive about 10 tons of oyster mushrooms per year.

“We are investing a quarter of a billion rubles in this project,” representatives of China told the Russian side. “And we are confident that we will be able to provide work and a stable salary to the hundreds of residents of the Penza region.”

At the moment, the project is at the stage of construction and installation work, which they plan to complete in the coming months and put into operation chambers for growing mycelium and equipment of the substrate workshop.

Investors are interested in launching the complex as soon as possible: “Russia has a very high demand for mushrooms, while 88% of mushrooms on the shelves of markets and supermarkets is an export product. As soon as a new mushroom complex comes into operation in Shemysheyka, we will not only provide the Russians with a quality product, but we will also bring the level of the economy in China and Russia to a higher level! ”
