Strengthening Capacity for Development of Access to Agriculture Information on Irrigation and Marketing Application


Description

The benefits that farmers can receive when using MATANI.ID are:
- Farmers get additional counseling through the app
- Extension activities occur in real-time with extension workers and other farmers
- Farmers and extension workers gain more knowledge outside of farming activities, such as online marketing and funding
- Inclusive activities for farmers to report irrigation conditions directly from the site
- Slowly forming a larger community of farmers with the potential for long-term collaboration (close-loop)
- Agricultural applications have the potential to be developed more widely in building a digital agricultural ecosystem
