Launch of Self SIM in Burundi

Towards the development of a new service by agricultural cooperatives to benefit local communities
As part of the development of agricultural collective Entrepreneurship (ECAGRI) Inades-Formation Burundi accompanies producer cooperatives in coffee chains, tea, rice, corn, beans, cassava, banana and honey to develop services to benefit their members and local communities.

As an illustration, the MBONERAMIRYANGO cooperative Giheta in Gitega province, develops for the benefit of local communities coffee pulping, transport and storage of agricultural products. And processing of cassava into flour.

During the accompaniment phase, Inades-Formation Burundi will manage the SIM CPU (electronic platform for information dissemination). And in the accompanying processes, stakeholders will be sensitized to the constitution of a SIM support base that will support the operation of the CPU. The feasibility and modalities of implementation and management of this fund were analyzed during the workshop activities.
The SIM, in addition to disseminating information on the prices of targeted products, will also play the role of an agricultural exchange. Indeed, it will:

Members of agricultural cooperatives, traders and local communities to have continuous access to price products targeted markets across the country including Bujumbura market, allowing small producers to fully appreciate the price they are offered by buyers and to sell their products at the best price. Merchants can also conduct business transactions between different localities on the basis of information provided on prices;
Agricultural cooperatives to post the available quantities of agricultural products in stock on the SIM to attract traders;
Merchants to post their agricultural needs on the SIM, which will provide opportunities for agricultural cooperatives to sell their productions.

With the development of self-directed SIM in Burundi, agricultural cooperatives will increase the services available to local communities.
