IFPRI and USAID are discussing the potential of digital tools to support farmers in Egypt, launching a new digital app repository that aims to provide a list of agriculture digital tools meant to support smallholder farmers in Egypt.

1. This project
 In this project we aim to build a digital tool that can serve dual
purpose of collecting and disseminating market information
 This tool will generate powerful market data to inform marketing
policies and operations.
 The tool will provide market information and marketing support
that can help to integrate smallholders in the value chains
 We also aim to conduct evaluation of the tool’s potential.
 These efforts will be implemented in close collaboration with the
MALR and local development partners

2. Mobile Application: Hypothetical Functionalities
• Collect raw price data from farmers: The Mobile App should
crowdsource market price and related information from farmers
• Disseminate processed and customized price information to
farmers: the mobile application should be able to disseminate market
prices from alternative sources
• Backend website to manage the mobile application: The Mobile
App should be connected to a website that enables managing and
manipulating the tool.
• Provide a more compelling, engaging and user-friendly visitor
experience
