Which Countries Import the Most Mushrooms in 2026?

The top mushroom importing countries from January to July 2026 were Vietnam at US$100.10 million (6.46% of buyers), Indonesia at US$37.22 million and the Philippines at US$29.46 million, based on yTrade HS 0709 and HS 2003 trade data.

• Philippines: US$29.46 million (2,051 shipments) — a steady importer of both fresh and preserved mushrooms for retail and foodservice
• Malaysia: US$13.42 million (4,138 shipments) — the highest shipment count after Vietnam at 10.20%, pointing to frequent, smaller consignments

Top #1 Mushroom Importing Country: Vietnam — US$100 Million

Vietnam leads global mushroom importing countries despite a 150-year cultivation history, because domestic output cannot meet processing demand. The country ranks 11th in mushroom exports yet stands as the third-largest importer of processed mushrooms worldwide, after the United States and Hong Kong, and the second-largest importer of mushroom powder, behind the United States.

Domestic production reaches only 250,000 to 270,000 tonnes a year, a modest figure given Vietnam's raw-material base, which includes 42 to 47 million tonnes of rice straw annually. Fragmented, manual production and a reliance on imported mushroom strains keep the country dependent on foreign supply, so Vietnam holds its position among the leading destinations even as domestic demand rises.

• Vietnam's mushroom market reached about US$362 million in mid-2025: according to Ken Research, cited by Vietnam News, with growth driven by rising demand for healthy food.
• The market could reach US$600 million by 2033: at a 5.2% compound annual growth rate, projected by IMARC and reported by FreshPlaza.
• Short shelf life sustains processed imports: fresh mushrooms must be processed within 24 hours of harvest, which supports demand for preserved and powdered mushroom imports.

Top #2 Mushroom Importing Country: Indonesia — US$37 Million

Indonesia ranks second among these destinations, drawing on imports to supply a large and growing food-processing sector. Southeast Asia has emerged as a central demand region, with mushroom farming now supporting more than 500,000 smallholder farmers across the region.

Indonesian demand sits within a wider regional pattern where fresh and preserved mushrooms move across borders to meet retail and processing needs. Button mushrooms, the genus Agaricus, held 44.7% of the global market in 2025, which shapes the product profile flowing into Indonesian ports.

• Asia-Pacific held 46.4% of the global mushroom cultivation market in 2025: according to Market Data Forecast, anchoring regional trade demand.
• Button mushrooms lead global demand at 44.7% share: shaping the fresh and preserved product profile imported across Southeast Asia.
• Oyster mushrooms are the fastest-growing segment: at a projected 12.4% compound annual growth rate, supported by decentralised farming adaptability.

Top #3 Mushroom Importing Country: Philippines — US$29 Million

The Philippines ranks third among the top mushroom importing countries, taking both fresh and preserved mushrooms for retail and foodservice channels. The country appears consistently in independent trade datasets as a leading destination for canned and other preserved mushrooms, reflecting steady processing and retail demand.

Regional demand across Southeast Asia is supported by rising health awareness and plant-based dietary trends, which lift consumption of both fresh and processed varieties. The global edible-fungus industry is projected to exceed US$100 billion by 2030, which supports continued import growth across the region.

• Global mushroom industry projected to exceed US$100 billion by 2030: driven by plant-based diets and functional-food demand.
• Asia leads global production at roughly 80% of output: which keeps intra-Asian trade flows central to the region's buyers.
• Plant-based and functional-food trends lift demand: supporting continued growth in fresh and preserved mushroom imports across the Philippines.

Which Mushroom Products Drive Import Trade in 2026?

Fresh mushrooms under HS 070959 led mushroom import trade at US$88.79 million, or 43.65% of value, from January to July 2026, according to yTrade HS 0709 and HS 2003 trade data. Preserved mushrooms under HS 200310 followed at US$40.28 million (19.80%), while fresh Agaricus under HS 070951 added US$13.33 million.

HS 070959 covers fresh mushrooms other than Agaricus, such as shiitake and oyster varieties. The top five mushroom products by value were:

• HS 070959, other fresh mushrooms: US$88.79 million (43.65% share) — shiitake, oyster and other specialty fresh varieties leading trade value
• HS 200310, preserved mushrooms: US$40.28 million (19.80% share) — canned and jarred mushrooms for foodservice and retail, holding 28.21% of import weight
• HS 070951, fresh Agaricus mushrooms: US$13.33 million (6.55% share) — button, crimini and portabella varieties
• HS 071232, dried wood ears: US$12.12 million (5.96% share) — dried Auricularia for Asian cooking
• HS 071234, dried mushrooms: US$11.17 million (5.49% share) — other dried mushroom varieties

Fresh specialty mushrooms dominate trade because of where production sits. China alone produces over 75% of the world's mushrooms, with the National Bureau of Statistics confirming output of 42 million tonnes in 2023, primarily shiitake, oyster and enoki varieties, according to Market Data Forecast. This concentration channels specialty fresh mushrooms into importing countries across Asia.

However, preserved and dried products serve a different purpose. Because fresh mushrooms have a shelf life measured in days, preserved and dried forms travel further and store longer, which explains their strong share among importing countries beyond the immediate region, including Mexico, Costa Rica and Botswana.

Who Are the Leading Mushroom Suppliers to These Countries?

The top mushroom suppliers shipping to these destinations are led by Guangxi Xuerong Biotechnology, Shanghai Xuerong Biotechnology and Shanghai Detan Mushroom and Truffles, according to yTrade supplier match data.

Supplier concentration follows production geography, since the largest exporters cluster in China's specialty-mushroom provinces. The table below, from yTrade verified business profiles, shows top suppliers for mushroom in 2026, mainly from China:

As US tariffs on Canadian mushrooms take effect and Asian production scales, the suppliers serving each destination are the detail worth watching next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country imports the most mushrooms?

Vietnam led mushroom importing countries from January to July 2026 by destination value, receiving US$100.10 million of mushroom shipments across 12,042 consignments, according to yTrade trade data.

Why does Vietnam import so many mushrooms?

Vietnam imports heavily because domestic output of 250,000 to 270,000 tonnes a year cannot meet processing demand, according to Vietnam News. Fragmented production, imported mushroom strains and a 24-hour fresh shelf life keep the country reliant on preserved and powdered mushroom imports despite a long cultivation history.

Fresh specialty mushrooms under HS 070959, such as shiitake and oyster, led trade at US$88.79 million from January to July 2026, according to yTrade data. Preserved Agaricus mushrooms under HS 200310 followed at US$40.28 million, together making up more than 60% of tracked mushroom import value.

Where do most imported mushrooms come from?

Most traded mushrooms originate in China, which produces over 75% of the world's supply at about 42 million tonnes in 2023, according to Market Data Forecast. Leading suppliers cluster in Chinese provinces such as Fujian and Guangxi, shipping fresh, preserved and dried mushrooms to importing countries across Asia and beyond.
