MYANMAR – With increasing demand from restaurants and wholesalers, mushroom holds a lot of potential for small farmers in Myanmar. Mushroom growing is a quick source of income for farmers. Thus, AFFM took this opportunity to teach farmers about mushroom growing.
Last May 6, 2017, farmers from Tedim township farmers unions involving 10 villages in Chin underwent a training on mushroom growing. The training was organized by AFFM and its partner NEED, with Executive Director Khaing Dhu Wan as facilitator.
The one-day training allowed the farmers to learn about permarculture ethics and principles and sustainable agriculture livelihood security.
“This practical agricultural training is very important because farmers lack technical knowledge on how to grow straw mushroom or other mushroom varieties, how to produce them for the market, and how to add value to their agricultural products,” AFFM staff Tichia Pan said. ### (Report & photos by Tichia Pan, AFFM)
