New software to aid farmers to resolve marketing woes

New software to aid farmers to resolve marketing woes: "Dr Rugemalira submitted his invention Uza Mazao (Swahili for sale produce) software that enable farmers and farm produce buyers to meet in a virtual market. Being a winner meant that he gets $100,000 as prize money to deploy his idea but on condition that he contributes an equal amount to the investment. “The prize had to be topped up with an equal amount viewed as ‘sweat equity’ from the winner,” he says."
