\nTRAINING ON MUSHROOM CULTIVATION (Register Now)
\nJuly 21st , 2022, 9 am at the Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation
\n1. 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\u2019s total exports, according to the French ministry of agriculture and food. Youth employment, entrepreneurship development and women\u2019s 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\u2019s economy, the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation\u2019s Small Business Entrepreneurship Centre is organizing an onsite training on Thursday the 21st of July, 2022. The main objective of this training is to promote the economic inclusion of youths and women via the development of entrepreneurship in Cameroon.
