Providing access to information help farmers to increase their agricultural productivity and put them in a favorable market position in relation to other actors.

There should be a coordinated way of improving technological infrastructure (both telecommunication network and Electricity) between Ethio telecom and Electric power corporation in order to solve network and power disruption so that farmer can adopt and get access to the ICT.
