empowering small farmers
FarmerNet (www.farmer.lk) is a mobile – online trading platform to support small farmers in rural Sri Lanka. It enables SMS text based information uploading to www.farmer.lk site. Farmers and traders can upload their selling or buying information. Working as a ‘spot trading platform’, FramerNet automatically checks the matching parties (i.e. sellers and buyers) and inform them via SMS messages to their mobile phones.
FarmerNet is a product of Sarvodaya-Fusion (www.fusion.lk). It primarily targets the small farmer beneficiaries supported by micro-finance program of Sarvodaya Economic Enterprise Development Services (SEEDS – www.seeds.lk). Empowerment of small farmers is the goal of the Farmer-net.
