| Title: | Tanzania - First Mile Project - March 2006 |
| Description: |
Magugu village market, Babati, Tanzania. Stanley Mchome (left) is a Mkulima Shushushu (a spy farmer). He uses his mobile phone to communicate current market prices from a variety of traders and markets to producers in his group. Fatuma Juma, (right) 36, is a member of Mshikamano saccos cooperative. She resells fruits and vegetables that she buys from the Arusha central market. She receives no market information prior to going to the market herself. The transactions still depend much on the bargaining power that I have. The First Mile Project focuses on the developing the connection between suppliers and consumers. By increasing telecommunication technology, the project aims to support small-scale farmers in gaining market access. |
