dc.description.abstractMobile phone-based ICTs can reduce information asymmetries in agricultural markets, enabling farmers to reduce transaction costs and search costs associated with locating sales outlets. Remittance inflows into developing economies have increased ten-fold from US $31,058 million to US$ 327,591 over the 1990 to 2008 period.
