Need an import agent

mdk555

Greetings from sunny south africa, i am planning on relocating to mauritius in mid 2025 with my family. My first order of business is to start up my mushroom farm there. My mushrooms need a hardwood substrate to grow on and you cant get that on the island. I have a supplier in the uk that can ship my substrate to mauritius but there is a lot of regulations and paperwork involved and i need a person or company that can assist me with importation and customs. Can anyone point me in the right direction.


Many thanks

Marcell

Have you tried horse manure?

I knew a guy who grew mushrooms in that. The crops were stunning.

If a local supply is available, give it a try.

Thanks for the reply fred, i might give button mushrooms at try at a later stage so the manure isn't out of the question. The species i do needs a hardwood subtrate to grow on eg shavings, sawdust, logs etc.

Importing goods like your hardwood substrate can definitely feel like a lot to handle, especially with all the paperwork and local regulations. You might want to connect with sourcing agents in China or similar professionals who specialize in international trade. Theyre often experienced in navigating customs, securing suppliers, and handling logistics, which can save you a lot of hassle.
