Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the production methods and potential of self-help groups (SHGs) for linking to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in the Union Territory of Puducherry region. Design/methodology/approach The variables for the research work were identified through a literature review relating to SHGs production methods and 251 primary data were collected through the random sample using the survey method. The statistical software of IBM-SPSS was used to analyze the data using the statistical methods of descriptive statistics like frequency analysis simple mean and inferential statistics such as chi-square, correspondence analysis, correlation and ANOVA test. Findings The majority of SHGs consisting of 49.8% are willing to pay an amount up to Rs. 5,000 if training is provided through MSME organizations, a higher number of SHGs have indicated that they are very much interested in ancillary production activities, 35.5% of SHGs are using no machines and ANOVA test result shows that there is a significant difference between numbers of years of functioning with respect to production activity. Research limitations/implications The authors have selected the Union Territory of Puducherry was taken as the sample region of the study due to its high rural poverty levels of 16.9%. Practical implications The research study endeavors to study the various production methods and preferences of SHGs and it will be of immense utility to the government, banks, microfinance organizations and other policymakers. Originality/value Existing literature reviews are conducted on various problems in service and manufacturing sectors, it is essential to conduct empirical research on an inclusive sector like SHG production activities and preferences in emerging economies like India.

“…Psilocybin can reduce depression and stress and improves mental wellbeing. However, 30% of depressed people are not taking any kind of drugs or medication, which is a major reason for criminal and violent activities (Siddhartha et al, 2019;Thyagarajan et al, 2019). The psilocybin present in mushrooms can help to improve psychological fitness.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the value chain analysis of, consumers' awareness level of, and buying motives toward mushroom products. The primary data were collected through face-to-face interviews and by using a questionnaire filled out by 70 consumers from various major mushroom production districts, selected by non-random sampling. Secondary data were collected from various sources. Based on the data analysis, it was found that around 73% of consumers preferred to buy their mushroom products in the supermarket, and 71% of consumers responded that factors other than the shape, color, and size of mushrooms motivated them to buy them. The research concludes that urban consumers were well aware of the nutrition value of mushrooms, but their consumption level was very low compared to non-vegetarians urban consumer in the studied area. Nearly 30% of respondents believed a myth about mushrooms having a mold and were prepared from compost, which causes a bad smell. It was found that that while producers put forth more effort and energy than other actors into the mushroom value chain they received less revenue and profit than wholesalers and retailers. Therefore, policy makers should develop new norms to remove barriers and others issues to safeguard mushroom producers for sustainable growth of the mushroom sector in India. In the future, there will be an increase in the consumption of processed foods. Hence, food companies have to concentrate on mushroom processing and fresh mushroom production.
