Information and Communication 
                                                  Technologies

                 Transforming African Agriculture
Farming communities
Mobile phones are used to empower and mobilize farmers and 
communities, enabling communication and interaction. 
Farmers use phones to negotiate with buyers, they dial‐in to 
get local information and weather, they can send and receive 
money. Governments can reach out to rural communities with 
essential information. Markets and researchers use mobiles to 
collect widely scattered data so it can be re‐used. 
Science for development
ICTs are applied along the research for development 
continuum that connects agricultural science with agricultural 
and rural change. They are used to transform agricultural 
extension, facilitate the delivery of education and learning, 
help to empower the rural poor, and power many agricultural 
finance, credit, market, weather, and other services.
Market information
ICTs provide improved access to information, transforming the 
way farmers do business. New technologies help make supply 
and distribution processes more efficient; Farmers often 
branch out to produce more products and enter new markets. 
Fisheries
ICTs offer cost‐effective means to discover new fishing 
grounds,  monitor fish populations, track and trace catches for 
export, and combat illegal fishing activities. Weather 
information delivered by radio or satellite warns when to 
return home.
Pest management
ICTs are used in pest identification, prevention, education, 
knowledge sharing and eradication. Multi‐media information is 
shared across the Internet; farmers and extension workers 
post symptoms and  obtain advice by email, radio and phone.
