Jiangsu Edible Fungi Agricultural Project: Intelligent Cultivation & Cold Chain Storage Solutions

Project Overview

Jiangsu Province is a key hub for China’s edible fungi industry, renowned for its high yields of King Oyster, Enoki, Button, and Seafood Mushrooms. This project integrates intelligent climate control systems and multi-functional cold storage facilities, covering the entire production chain from spawn cultivation to cold chain logistics, establishing a model for efficient, energy-saving, and standardized agricultural practices.

Key Facilities & Innovations

1.  Intelligent Climate Control Systems

   • Precise growth environment:

     • Stage-specific Control: Adjust temperature, humidity (85-95%), and CO₂ levels (800-1500ppm) tailored to species—e.g., 12-18°C for King Oyster, 5-10°C for Enoki—to optimize yield and quality.

     • IoT Monitoring: Real-time data drives automated adjustments via fans, humidifiers, and CO₂ generators, ensuring ≤±0.5°C stability.

   • Energy saving design:

     • Heat Pump Waste Recovery: Repurposes excess heat for workshop heating, cutting energy use by 25%.

     • Inverter HVAC: Adjusts power based on real-time demand, reducing electricity costs by 30%.

2. Multi-functional Cold Storage

   • Hierarchical storage system:

     • Preservation Chambers (0-4°C): Extends shelf life of Enoki and Seafood Mushrooms to 21 days.

     • Blast Freezers : Rapid freezing within 30 minutes minimizes ice crystals (<50μm), preserving texture and nutrients.

   • 智能化管理：

     
     

     • Blockchain Traceability: Logs temperature and humidity data across the supply chain.

      

Economic & Social Impact

• Capacity improvement:

  • Annual output of 5,000 tons King Oyster Mushrooms (90% premium grade); Button Mushrooms produced year-round in 35-day cycles.

• Farmer empowerment:

  • Empowering 1,200 local farmers through cooperatives with training and spawn supply, increasing annual income by 30,000 CNY/household.
