This programme was conducted by Ts. Dr. Mohd Fazli bin Mohd Sam from the Faculty of Technology Management and Technopreneurship (FPTT), Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). In addition to providing exposure to effective and high-impact mushroom cultivation techniques, the programme empowered participants with knowledge related to cost management, financial planning, startup capital calculations, operational expenditure control, and product pricing strategies. Through this knowledge sharing, participants were exposed to methods for recording and monitoring cash flow, managing profits, and identifying factors that influence mushroom production costs. This knowledge is crucial in helping participants plan and operate their enterprises more systematically, enhance product competitiveness, and ensure long-term business sustainability and success.

Participants, comprising members of BAKAT (Armed Forces Wives and Female Members Association), demonstrated high levels of commitment, interest, and enthusiasm throughout every session. The active involvement of participants reflects their determination to apply the acquired knowledge and expand the mushroom cultivation project as a potential new source of income to improve family well-being.
