It was organized well and discussed a very timely subject. Traceability, however, in my openion is still a new concept to this country. Hence, need to create an awarness among the public as well as the policy makers. Hence, I suggest some paper articles to the press would be a very effetive and cheap way to get the message.

We develop software solutions that integrate with the handheld field data terminals and handheld scales which we source from our partners in Chennai to promote efficiency in produce handling, payment and institutional process management. We are in the process of domesticating our software solutions business in India. We have covered some enviable grounds in the management of agricultural value chains in Kenya and would be glad to share our experiences with your participants. I therefore would very much like to participate virtually in this workshop particularly the Value Chain Thread.
