TAEWON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD -The canned mushroom enterprise in Korea-

Abstract

According to written material, mushroom raising as an industry was started in around 17th century with France taking a lead in this field.

In the beginning of the 19th century, the business of mushroom growing spread to other European countries such as Belgium and Germany and finally ended up in almost every nation of the world.

The mushroom has been popular in the European nations as well as in the United States as a food with a characteristic flavor. It has gradually been accepted as a generally enjoyable food but somewhat expensive. As standards of living improve, we can safely predict that demand will increase and that lower price will follow.
