Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Kenya, Development, Environment, Technology

White African blogs about a mobile information exchange for farmers in Kenya, [1] “Rural farmers in central Kenya have been piloting a project, called DrumNet, that provides marketing, financial services and information to them using their mobile phones. The project’s premise is that information on the market is one of the key elements that keeps farmers from getting the full market value for their products.”
