Real time data recorded by the farmers will
support in managing their enterprises.
Record keeping is essential not only for farm
management aspects but also the collected
data can be used by other stakeholders for
immediate intervention and better
improvement of the sector in general.
With the better farming management tool
which leads to the availability of data, the
information gap between farmers and other
stakeholders will be narrowed.
