A HUB FOR ALL HORTICULTURE PRODUCTION
A HUB FOR ALL HORTICULTURE PRODUCTION
The Eswatini National Horticulture Information System is a digital platform that provides key data on horticulture production processes and availability of crops to farmers, buyers, input suppliers, marketers, retailers, and researchers. It is aimed at supporting farmers with critical market-related information for decision making purposes. It is expected to add value to Eswatini’s agricultural landscape, by bringing under one umbrella all intelligence relating to the demand and supply of horticulture produce.
All farmers are expected to register and upload information regarding plantings, forecast harvesting yields and dates. This will assist NAMBoard with gathering the key evidence needed to control importation of those crops which are projected to be in over-supply locally. By registering, farmers will be able to notify buyers beforehand of the expected availability for each crop. The system is supported by key stakeholders in the horticulture value chain who contribute to maintaining its statistical integrity. It is imperative that farmers scrutinize in detail, the information system before deciding to offer produce, to increase their chances of successfully selling what they have produced.
