Abstract
Management, development partners, private sector and NGOs are accustomed to ensure enabling
infrastructure is provided. Access to markets requires good transport and low transaction cost
accompanied with recent market information. To provide market information to rural
community, stakeholders may initiate the program by providing funds and finding the means of
ensuring the sustainability of the program. Delivering market information requires established
ICT infrastructure and capable staffing. Thus, a framework to access agricultural market
information requires management to provide infrastructure and funding, and also to ensure rural
areas are equipped with the technology.
