Structured Trading System for grain farmers

Project description

The Eastern Africa Grain Council (EAGC) a private sector, a membership-based organization registered in Kenya through a partnership with various industry stakeholders has launched an online trading platform that links smallholder farmers to grain buyers through a networked and structured market mechanism.
