Located in the Northern Region of Ghana, DeliMush is cultivating more than just gourmet mushrooms, it is cultivating opportunity, sustainability, and empowerment. As a KIC-funded business, DeliMush is transforming the mushroom value chain into a source of income and independence for women and youth in the Northern Region of Ghana.
DeliMush processes fresh, locally grown mushrooms into a variety of nutritious, plant-based products that appeal to health-conscious consumers. Mushrooms in tomato, pepper and onion sauce. But behind the products is a deeper mission.
"At DeliMush, we're not just processing mushrooms, we're preserving livelihoods, promoting wellness, and proving that sustainable, plant-based innovation can start right at the farm gate. Our goal is to nourish people and empower smallholder mushroom farmers," said Aisha Abdallah, Co-founder, DeliMush.
With support from the Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC) and Mastercard Foundation, DeliMush has expanded its operations to include training programs for women, equipping them with skills in mushroom cultivation, packaging, and entrepreneurship.
