UNFFEICT4Farmers is a project developed for small holder farmers to address the issues faced along the value chain. The system is designed to solve and address the issues faced during the different stages of production for the farmers which are pre-production, (the first stage) production (the second stage) and post-production (the third stage). We understand that at every stage there are different stakeholders and activities with their challenges and UNFFEICT4Farmers is designed to address these issues.
