TradeNet is an online portal set up for traders and producers to “access prices for specific commodities and markets throughout West Africa”. The portal also permits SMS messaging ; users can receive alerts on prices and commodities and access “market conditions” via their cellphones.
TradeNet is conceived under the MISTOWA project which aims to increase regional agricultural trade and food security by improving and linking the existing regional efforts to generate, disseminate, and make commercial use of market information. The project is funded by USAID, West Africa and executed by BusyLab.
