“It’s suitable for me because I can work at home, and inside the house,” said veteran mushroom farmer Do Thien Dang. “My life is much better.” The 53-year-old lost both his legs when he stepped on a landmine while harvesting bamboo near his home in 1980. He took part in the pilot mushroom programme in 2003 and now produces 250-300kg of mushrooms per year, contributing up to $300 to the family coffers. Through Renew’s no-interest loans, farmers under the scheme usually buy about 1,500 blocks for 15 cents each. Renew then buys the crop back at slightly higher than market price and sells it at local markets. Profits go towards mine clearance. Via palkarlsen

Mushroom growers of Ganjam district fear that they may not get any compensation for their losses during cyclone Phailin in October 2013. The mushroom growers say Ganjam district is in second place in mushroom production in the State. Before Phailin there were hundreds of mushroom cultivation units as well as 30 mushroom seed production centres in the district. They claim that around 4,000 youths of the district were involved in mushroom cultivation. Phailin had completely devastated the infrastructure of mushroom cultivation in the district. The mushroom growers alleged that after the cyclone they faced a financial crunch to restart cultivation. They were unable to avail any government assistance or loans at low interest from authorised financial institutions and were compelled to opt for personal investment or loans at high interest from private sources. They continue to demand that they should also be eligible for agricultural loans and other benefits provided to peasants by the government. Via palkarlsen
