Operating, profitable, fully-licensed company — funding a defined expansion, not a greenfield startup
Mushroom farmingTurkey
Royal Oyster Mushroom Production & Crispy Mushroom Processing — Istanbul, Türkiye
A growth-capital opportunity in the food-agriculture sector in Istanbul, Türkiye: an established, fully-licensed company operating an integrated facility that produces Royal Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus) in a sterile, climate-controlled environment year-round, commercially active for more than six months with daily output approaching one tonne. The company is now seeking a strategic partner to fund a transformative expansion — a dedicated factory for ready-to-eat frozen 'Crispy Mushroom' snacks in four flavors — turning it from a single-line fresh-produce supplier into a multi-product food processor serving local retail, the HORECA sector, and exports to the Gulf and the European Union.
