KABUL (Reuters) - At his farm in Afghanistan s capital Kabul, Rasool Rezaie gently picks oyster mushrooms, part of the around 30 kg he sells in markets daily.
Rezaie learned how to grow mushrooms during a stay in Russia as he tried to claim asylum there, and set up his farm two years ago. I was introduced to a mushroom farm in Russia by a friend, and I started working there, where I learned how to produce the mushroom spores and cultivate them, said Rezaie, who first moved to Russia in 2012 due to insecurity and unemployment in Afghanistan.
