MRI Agro application system is based on an electronic voucher or card that is provided to farmers after they prepay for the product. Each prepaid card has a unique scratch-off code number that is registered at point of purchase by the input retailer by submitting an SMS together with the farmer’s national identification and cell phone numbers. The network then sends an SMS to the farmer validating the product purchased and projected date of delivery. When the seed is available, an SMS is sent to the farmer to notify them of the date and retailer location for pickup. Upon presentation of their corresponding identification to the retailer, the products are released to the farmer.
