The CROMABU project was set up in Magu on the shore of lake Victoria, where the most important sources of income are cotton farming and fishing. It aims to provide the rural community with relevant price information and to build ICT capacity within the community, particularly among young people, women and farmers. The project has three components: an internet café and provision of access to third parties; community development through information and training; and price information services. For the latter, CROMABU has linked up with another IICD project - Business Information Services (BIS) - which compiles and analyses agricultural information. In short, CROMABU provides farmers with timely and accurate information about prices and trade flows which helps them to make informed decisions about buying and selling and thereby increases their profits.
