The document discusses the need to shift agricultural extension from a production-led to a market-led approach. It notes that farmers currently lack market information and access, which causes them to lose money. A market-led extension would empower farmers by providing production and market-oriented knowledge. This would guide farmers on what and how much to produce based on market needs and demands. The extension system would become demand-driven and focus on making farmers agri-entrepreneurs to optimize returns. Information and communication technologies could help deliver real-time market intelligence to farmers.
