weather. On the other hand, growing indoor RSM has higher investment costs but
greater productivity and lower risks due to its well controlled environment.
One of the major bottlenecks for developing RSM is its market. Even though
fresh RSM has high value, it cannot be stored for more than 3 days because it is
highly perishable. Using technology to improve preservation to lengthen the storage
time is a key to increasing the market and price and improving RSM’s value chain.
