This ten-day course teaches participants to design, manage, and use agricultural market information systems that deliver timely price, demand, and supply data to farmers, traders, and agribusiness decision-makers.
Farmers and traders who lack timely, reliable market information routinely sell at a loss or miss favorable selling windows, while well-functioning market information systems have measurably improved bargaining power and price outcomes across the region. This ten-day course teaches participants to design and manage agricultural market information systems (MIS), covering data collection methods, price and volume reporting, dissemination channels including SMS and radio, and the institutional arrangements needed to keep an MIS accurate and trusted over time. Participants examine both public and private-sector market information systems operating across the region.
Practical sessions include designing a data collection protocol for a specific commodity market, evaluating dissemination channel options for reaching farmers with limited connectivity, and building a basic market information reporting template. By the end of the course, participants can design, launch, or strengthen a market information system suited to their organization's context and target users.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
