| Description: | Nguyen Quoc Huong, 44 yr, managing director of Tuan Linh Mushroom cooperative stands for a portrait at their company's production facility in Sonly village, Son Loc commune, Quang Binh province, central Vietnam, November 7, 2017. About 10 years ago when his father suffered from Lymphomas, a neighbour told them about the Linzhi mushroom drink, a type of fungus which could help cure his father's disease. To provide all the mushroom they needed for his father's health and for the family, him and his wife Ngo Thi Kim Lien started planting mushrooms at their home, which became a small family business with 3 or 4 workers. In early 2016, they founded the company Tuan Linh clean mushroom production and cooperative with his wife as the operation manager, producing different types of mushrooms and also selling mushroom grow kits to the farmer groups, enabling low-income households to grow mushrooms close to their house and earn extra income. In the beginning of 2017, they received a financial support of 1.9 billion Vietnamese Dong (about 850000 usd) [[NOTE: AMOUNT TO BE DOUBLE-CHECKED]] which was used to buy trucks and machines, equipments, building warehouse, and the training off the workers and staff amont other usages. Their production area also expanded and the revenues more than doubled. In turn, they are using the money to train more staff with higher techniques, to acquire higher technology, better machines and infrastructure. Being a PPP, the cooperative also works with 15 framer groups to increase their supply. ©IFAD/Minzayar Oo/Panos |
