TradeNet

TradeNet

TradeNet is a market information service for farmers and traders throughout the world, but focused mostly on Africa and mostly on agriculture. TradeNet is the first of its kind in Africa, allowing users to register their mobiles and get SMS alerts of prices and offers. Unlike most market information services, TradeNet is unique in providing the service for free to users, and getting sponsors and mobile networks to cover the cost of providing the service.

The brainchild of Mark Davies, a British internet entrepreneur, TradeNet was established in 2006 with the partnership of CGIAR, Mistowa, USAID and FoodNet. It is currently in 12 countries and covers over 300 markets.
