| The main objective of the National Livestock Market Information System (NLMIS) development is to provide a means for timely livestock market information system to be reported digitally, and then made available it to the public for use in decision making. It has been designed to allow data collected from primary, secondary, and terminal livestock markets to be entered into the system via short messaging service (SMS) messages from cellular telephones. Pastoralists, livestock traders, and other interested stakeholders can then request the price and volume information for specific markets using SMS. |
