Market Information You Can Trust
Up-to-date market information enables farmers to negotiate with traders from a position of greater strength. It also facilitates spatial distribution of products from rural areas to urban areas and between urban markets by sending clear price signals from urban consumers to rural producers regarding quantities and varieties required. It also enables farmers to make planting decisions in line with urban consumer demand, including those related to new crops.
At M-Omulimisa, we collect price information from 33 markets across Uganda including major buyers in the Lango sub-region and make this available to you on your phone for a small fee.
