The future agricultural miracle of the country? Nigeria is discovering its enormous potential for mushroom growing.
During the Daily Trust Agricultural Conference and Exhibition, the Governor of Rivers State (one of the states of Nigeria, in the south of the country, on the Niger Delta) advocated the production of mushrooms to ensure food security and increase exports.
He has already formed an association (Mass Mushroom Developers Association) which will be registered shortly. To promote the production of mushrooms throughout the country. The culture does not require large investments in equipment (dark room or bag, platforms) or in inputs and can be carried out all year around.
Mushroom production can contribute to national food security but also to job creation. The good quality mushroom can be exported to very profitable markets such as Europe and America. With billions of dollars in revenue.
