“eSoko” to ease farmers’ access to market information

Rwandan farmers will benefit from government’s e-soko project that seeks to help them access latest market information for particular commodities. The project helps farmers to access the market information using mobile phones. Government intends to distribute 3,500 mobile phones to farmers through cooperatives. At least one cooperative in every district has been identified to benefit from the project.
