"Growing popularity of Chinese mushrooms on overseas markets"

"There are currently more than 350 different kinds of edible mushrooms known in China. The cultivation technology has recently greatly improved, our knowledge has grown, and the plantation surface has increased. The export price of Chinese mushrooms keeps rising, and our mushrooms are becoming more popular on overseas markets every year." This is according to Mr. Lin Zhengshun of the Fujian Province Ningde City Yongjia Trading Co., Ltd.

We also own a processing factory of 10 thousand square meters. We are specialized in edible mushrooms, vegetables, fruit, and other agricultural by-products. Edible mushrooms are our number one product. This category includes fresh shiitake, white jade, and lingzhi mushrooms, as well as wild Ravenel's bolete, matsutake, and truffles.

"We currently sell our agricultural products under our own, registered brand 'Yongjia'. We export 80% of our products to Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
