Abstract

Marc Ghislain Bappa Se and Nestor Ngouambe discuss opportunities for farmers' organisations to harness data-driven agriculture to facilitate market access for smallholder farmers in Cameroon. Taking the PIDMA project as an example, they argue that supporting farmers' organisations' capacity to capitalise on data is crucial for farmers to efficiently and effectively tap into the ‘data value chain' sphere.
