Warehouse Receipt Systems

The CFC WRS Project and UCDA have developed a MIS which uses mobile phone networks to disseminate coffee prices on the touch of a button. Farmers anywhere in Uganda can access coffee prices from international markets, translated into USD/Kg and also national prices at five different locations (in Uganda Shillings). The system, provided by True African Ltd, is self-financing and sustainable, with True African Ltd and UCDA sharing income generated through use of the service. UCDA’s share of the money will be channelled into ensuring delivery of high quality, timely market information to farmers, traders and exporters.
