| contents | Current development of mushroom biotechnology in Latin America D. Martínez Carrera Biología Agaricus Pleurotus Lentinula Latin America culture collections There is a paucity of information about the commercial production of edible mushroomsin Latin America. During the period 1995-2001, estimated production increased 32% inthis region, from 49,975 to 65,951 tonnes/year. Its total economic value reached morethan 167 million dollars per year, and about 34 thousand people work for this activity.Leading countries are Mexico (58.6%), Chile (17.6%), and Brazil (10.6%) accounting for86.8% of total mushroom production. The mushroom consumption per capita in LatinAmerica is low (ca. 125 g/year). The rural household system model (RHS) has beendeveloped for assessing the significance and fundamental trends of rural mushroomcultivation. Despite the remarkable development in recent years and the Latin Americanmega-biodiversity, the recovery and conservation of native germplasm from ediblemushrooms have only been undertaken by several research collections. Future challengesof research and development are outlined considering the main mushroom activitiesbeing carried out in the region. Those countries, in which mushroom cultivation is not yetwell established, will find difficulty to cope with the new competitive circumstancesgenerated by globalisation. 2002 artículo científico 1534-2581 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=68514206 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=685 Micología Aplicada International application/pdf Colegio de Postgraduados Micología Aplicada International (México) Num.2 Vol.14 |
