Vegetable Market Information System


Description

The Vegetable Market Information System was developed to collect information on availability of vegetables and their demand in all Dzongkhags (primary subdivisions of Bhutan). The system was built to help the task force team under MoAF to collect the required locally produced information so that they can transport and distribute vegetables in other required dzongkhags. The information in the system is supposed to be fed in by Agriculture extension offices and private vegetable aggregators in the Dzongkhags
