Background\nAgriculture is a vital sector of the Cameroonian economy, ensuring food self-sufficiency and foreign exchange. According to the World Bank, agriculture is the largest employer with 45.7% of the active population, contributes 17.4% to GDP and in 2013 accounted for about 23% of the country’s total exports, according to the French ministry of agriculture and food. Youth employment, entrepreneurship development and women’s empowerment are urgent challenges for Sub-Saharan African countries such as Cameroon. Like agriculture in general, mushroom cultivation should contribute to meeting these daunting challenges. Today, seasonal mushroom picking is a widespread practice in Cameroon, which is why many people are not trained in mushroom cultivation and are not even aware that they can produce edible mushrooms themselves.\nIn response to the various problems responsible for the low rate of mushroom cultivation and the strategic role of agriculture in the Cameroon’s economy, the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation’s Small Business Entrepreneurship Centre is organizing an onsite training on Thursday the 21st of July, 2022.
