Mobile helps
find right price for farmers produce - The Hindu -
5th November, 2009
 About
3,000 farmers and 200 scientists are already using this facility now.
“Their daily visits encouraged a
good rapport among the several dealers which helped us to get the
right information,” explains Prof. Vadivel. But how many farmers use
computers in villages? True, the use of internet by farmers is meagre.
However the mobile phone network has expanded in leaps and bounds.
Virtually every farmer has a mobile today. Those with mobiles
can easily access this information. Right now, about 3,000 farmers and
200 scientists are already using mobile-based SMS on commodity and
market information.
