This paper focuses on weather information, and how information and communications technologies can be used to improve farmer access to that information. While farmers need multiple types of information to help them improve agricultural output and access markets, weather is one of the most highly requested services. Accurate weather forecasts not only help farmers protect themselves against natural factors but they can also benefit significantly as long as they are aware of the actions they can take to leverage good weather patterns. Weather information is also an input for developing risk mitigation tools such as index insurance products for farmers.
