In 1990, the first idea for ChampFood was born, inspired by the rise of phase 3 compost in mushroom cultivation. This innovation paved the way for a new concept: supplementation as an essential part of the growing process. What started as a shared idea has grown into a global movement.

Nearly 35 years later, the supplementation market is no less than 25 times larger than it was back then. ChampFood has grown from the ground up into the global market leader: today, nearly one out of every two mushrooms worldwide is supplemented with ChampFood. Supplementation has become indispensable, the ‘power food’ for mushrooms.

With just 1.5% added to compost, growers achieve a 15-20% increase in yield. This makes ChampFood the most efficient raw material in compost, both in terms of performance and sustainability. It contributes to higher yields, better quality, and longer shelf life. As is often said: ‘Every kilo of ChampFood produces four kilos of mushrooms. That’s the power of supplementation.’

The 35-year milestone is a moment of pride and appreciation. Although the seed was once planted by the founders, it is thanks to the dedication, expertise, and passion of the entire team that ChampFood has flourished. That is why this special anniversary will be celebrated at the end of 2025 together with all employees, the people who made their journey possible.
