Mushroom Cultivation

9 young men and 7 young women from Birbhum, West Bengal, who were unemployed have completed the mushroom cultivation and marketing training project funded by Varosha. The 6 month course trained them to grow mushrooms (including spawn preparation) and also how to prepare and market preserved mushroom products which are rapidly gaining popularity. The trainees were so happy with their training that they recommended the class and we supported a second session.
