This briefing paper presents the results of an assessment carried out to identify, document and share examples of ICTs that are being used by African agricultural input supply companies to better manage their distribution networks and provide important products, services, information and technical support to their farmer clients. The assessment was carried out between June and September 2012, and included field visits to Kenya and Zambia to interview agricultural input supply companies. This resulted in the identification of a number of ICT applications being used by these companies to improve operations and provide benefits to farmers.
