E-farming: Find out sharing of digital information through mobile including on better farming methods, purchase of farming inputs in Zimbabwe

Due to the lack of proper farming information such as weather update, new hybrid seeds, price for inputs and market information, farmers in the region, Zimbabwe tend to produce poor yields. Reason why e-farming project initiated by the University of Zimbabwe want to be an appropriate solution to the challenges facing farming across the country.

The pilot project is currently available to farmers who have already registered with the University of Zimbabwe but plans are underway to official launch it in early October 2012.
In fact, E-farming platform aims to allow sharing of digital information through mobile including on better farming methods, purchase of farming inputs, crop diseases, market prices, research-based agriculture data and animal husbandry.

Connectikpeople expects the service to be also effective in handling maximum production in other sector, aside from agriculture provided the research guidelines are followed.
