This year, orders have increased by 10-15%, so the company is rushing production.

Employees of Long Hai Co., Ltd. inspect the quality of enoki mushrooms.

As a pioneer in producing mushrooms using biotechnology in cold storage facilities in the province, since the beginning of December, Long Hai Co., Ltd. in Dong Trieu City has mobilized maximum manpower, machinery, and equipment to maintain the production of various types of mushrooms, such as enoki, oyster mushrooms, shiitake, and other varieties, with a daily output of 100-200 kg.

Mr. Pham Quang Nhue, Director of Long Hai Co., Ltd., said: Edible mushrooms are cooling, nourishing, and have a very high nutritional content such as protein, vitamins, and minerals, as well as many pharmacological effects. They have a delicious aroma and taste. The company's mushrooms are favored by many people inside and outside the province, especially during the Lunar New Year. Despite the difficulties from the economic downturn, the demand from people during this year's Lunar New Year increased by 15-20% compared to last year. From the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024, the company had planned to produce various types of mushrooms to meet the market demand at the end of the year, especially during the Lunar New Year. The company has carefully prepared the substrate, growing medium, and workforce to promptly fulfill orders.
