Mongi, this is an interesting innovation,but regular update on local price information is very crucial. I mean regular compilation of info by relevant agencies. If TCCIA can take a lead role I believe farmers with the assistance of improved infrustructure stand a bigger chance to gain alot.
It is true Bilaro. The trend of mobile phone revolutions in Africa and Tanzania in particular shows the technology like this would help accelerate our speed towards modernization and commercialization of agriculture.
