The People’s Committee of the central province of Quang Tri and the Humpty Dumpty Institute (HDI) have signed an agreement to carry out the “Mushrooms with a mission” programme worth 1.4 million USD.

The programme is part of the “Restoring the environment and neutralising the effects of the war in Quang Tri province” project, aiming to provide support to Quang Tri farmers in growing, processing and marketing high quality mushrooms in a sustainable way.

About 1,000 local households who are victims of bombs and mines during the war will benefit from this five-year programme.

HDI is a US-based nongovernmental organisation that creates government and private partnership in humanitarian programmes linking landmine removal with agricultural development and poverty reduction all over the world./.
