PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR MUSHROOM PRODUCTION: A WAY TOWARDS

COMMUNITY’S SUSTAINABILITY

Title: Mushroom Production and Processing

Location: Organic Agriculture Research and Development Innovation Center, BPSU,

Abucay, Bataan

Partner Organization: Various Farmer Organizations

Implementing Agency: BSA III- Animal Science, Bataan Peninsula State University-
Abucay Campus
Training Duration: 1 month

Date: June 5, 2023 – July 5, 2023

Recipient Organization: Farmers, students and other interested participants

A. Rationale

Mushrooms are called ‘white vegetables’ or ‘boneless vegetarian meat’ containing

20-35% protein (dry weight) which is higher than those of vegetables and fruits and is of
superior quality. It is considered ideal for patients of hypertension and diabetics. Oyster
mushrooms (Pleurotus sp.) can be grown on variety of crop refuses, saw dust, bagasse (a
waste product from sugar mill), sludge (a waste from paper pulp mill) etc. Processing of
agro-waste in to valuable protein rich food reduces the environmental pollution and its
byproduct as spent mushroom is also a good source for making compost, manure, soil
conditioner and can be used as feed for animal and fish. Paddy straw and banana leaves
are also available in the vicinity of the Campus which can be effectively utilized as
substrate (growing medium) for mushroom cultivation

B. Objectives

The main objective of this project is to give timely and relevant information about
mushroom production and processing to the farmers and constituents of Bataan
Peninsula State University. 

Specifically, the event aims: 

1. To teach farmers, students and other interested individuals on mushroom
growing and processing,

Our Vision Our Mission

A leading university in the Philippines recognized for its To develop competitive graduates and empowered community members by
proactive contribution to Sustainable Development through providing relevant, innovative and transformative knowledge, research, extension
equitable and inclusive programs and services by 2030 and production programs and services through progressive enhancement of its
human resource capabilities and institutional mechanism.

2. To introduce mushroom growing and processing and provide learning and

training,
3. To impart knowledge and skills to the farmers, students and other interested
participants

C. Basis of the Proposal

As an educational institution offering Agriculture related curses it is only right

and fitting that we ensure the wellness and growth of the farmers, students and
other constituents. By conducting such an activity, it is not just our support that we
are trying to impose in our local farmers but help and improvement as well. This is
substantial for their field that is essential in their growth.

Likewise, we can also help other aspiring famers, students and/or businessmen in
motivating and inspiring them that they could still work productively in this rough
time. This will give them both an initiative and kick start for the ideas dwelled up in
their minds. It is important that even in this hard situation, we could still work as
one in helping the local farmers to uplift their living. 

D. Expected Outcome 

The main expected outcome of this project is to have a well-informed and trained and
local farmers.

Specifically, Mushroom production and processing result to:  

1. Become well-informed and how to produce and process mushroom,
2. Produce future skillful mushroom growers/entrepreneurs,

E. Possible Risks/ Problems and Countermeasures

The possible problem of the Mushroom production and processing webinar series
will be the internet connection and power interruption which may cause delays in
conducting the activities. In that case, the session will be delayed and the time will be
adjusted.
