My name is Peter Kimaile, Co-founder BioGreen Technologies, a private company which has worked with farmers in Cetral, Western and Nyanza provinces of Kenya on extension services, research, market linkages and value chain addition. We had independently been running radio Programme "Mali Shambani" in the national Broadcaster in the swahili language and apparently many repondents and contributers were rural farmers seeking answers and advice on farming tips, post-harvest handling, market linkages and animal husbandry. This was found to be a very effective way of information exchange and we have been sourcing for financil support to rollout such programmes to all local radio stations as part of our technology tranfer project. The Ministry of Agriculture through her information dissemination unit AIRC has also been airing a similar programme "Sikio la Mkulima" and still it proved to be en effective channel, sustainability is a challenge which we might require advice from e-agriculture comminity members where simillar programmes have succeeded. Regards Kimaile
