OurCrop is a management information system (MIS) designed for organizations working on agriculture projects. It allows users to [1] track, monitor, and assess project activities, [2] store demographic and economic data about farmers, and [3] analyze agronomic data and training impacts. The system provides operational convenience for farmer producer organizations through features like procurement management, information dissemination, and integrated marketing and sales. It also analyzes field data, technical data, and financial data to produce customized reports for assessment and planning. Recent implementations include projects in Tanzania, Kenya, and India focused on coffee growers, farmer groups, and farmer cooperatives.
