farmers in Zambia are now able to access extension advice services on any farming proble they are facing on their farms on questions ranging from production, processing, storage, marketing including climate change. This is an initiative ny the department of National Agricultural Information Services in the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock. The platform allows farmers to send their questions in form of SMS using their mobile phones and they receive answers to their questions within the shortest time possible. The system also helps us generate new radio broadcast topics from the questions raised by the farmers. So far the farmers are appreciating as it is now taking little time for feedback to and from the farmers.

There is need for rural electrification through the use of solar power to enable these disadvantaged communities be able to have their cell phones charged. Much as farmers want to access SMS market information, their phones tend to run out of power due to lack of electricity. So technology should be developed to come up with solar chargers unlike the ones that are available now which need electricity power. [/u]
