TradeNet is a new market intelligence service that allows traders and producers from anywhere in the world to find each other online or via mobile phones and connect to do business. Piloted over the last 12 months in West Africa with USAID’s MISTOWA project, and in East Africa with CGIAR’s FoodNet, this is the largest commercial network promoting regional and international trade.

Focussed on raising revenues for small-scale farmers and traders by allowing them to affordably and quickly distribute their offers to others, TradeNet also provides free customizable websites to any group that seeks an online presence and easy integration with the mobile networks.
