Bihar and Odisha are India's two largest mushroom-producing states — together accounting for nearly 22% of the country's total mushroom output, according to 2023-24 data. Bihar alone produces over 42,000 tonnes annually, ahead of every other state in India, with Odisha close behind at around 34,600 tonnes. Yet both states have far less automation penetration than smaller producers like Haryana — most farms here still rely on manual monitoring and guesswork.
Contol-X by Poem Techno brings the same IoT climate-control technology used by leading farms in Gurgaon and Delhi NCR to Bihar and Odisha, with on-site installation and full remote support.
Why Bihar Leads India in Mushroom Production
Bihar's dominance comes from a combination of factors that favour commercial mushroom farming at scale:
- Abundant raw material: Rice straw and agricultural waste — the core substrate for button mushroom compost — is cheap and plentiful across the state
- Government push: State horticulture mission subsidies have driven rapid growth in small and medium commercial units, particularly around Patna, Muzaffarpur, and Bhagalpur
- Low land and labour costs: Make Bihar one of the most cost-competitive states for new mushroom farm setups in India
- Strong local demand: A large population base with growing fresh-mushroom consumption reduces dependence on distant markets
The gap: most Bihar farms still manage temperature, humidity and CO₂ manually, leading to inconsistent yield quality — exactly the problem automation solves.
Odisha — India's #2 Producer, With a Climate Challenge
Odisha's mushroom industry has grown rapidly around Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Sambalpur, but the state's hot, humid coastal and inland climate makes manual climate control especially difficult. High ambient humidity year-round increases contamination risk (bacterial blotch, Trichoderma) if grow rooms aren't kept within tight RH and temperature bands — a challenge Contol-X's automated relay control is specifically built to handle.
