To Rachel --

I am glad you raised this point about MRLs, what I see as a broader point about developing and innovating different ways to use mobiles, apps, and ICT for farm management. Applications that can functions as decision tools for available fertilizers/inputs on the market, postharvest services, amount recommended for specifc acreage and particular crop, etc.

These decision tools can draw from an ecosystem of relevant information and data -- such as farm size recorded from GPS app on a mobile phone, weekly/daily and location-based input price data, and farmer profiles that can store and link this information.

We have not yet seen the 'ecosystem of content' and data evolve in the least developed countries, but it has certainly started, and what is moreso, the dire lack of existing reources an tools make these ICT solutions and tools all the more relevant and promising for improved agricultural devlopment and production.
