The vital role played by scientific and technical information for agricultural and industrial development in developing countries is still neglected and accorded a lower status compared to other sectors. Most smallholder growers in Africa lack access to modern processing technology and market information as a result, farmers sell their produce at very low prices. This is the big challenge facing farmers in Tanzania. Studies show that lack of timely access to information is a major obstacle to agricultural development. Small- scale farmers need relevant and current information at the right time in order to increase their productivity.This book, therefore, will be a basis for influencing policy makers to develop agriculture policies and information systems that focus on the needs of small- scale farmers to improve their productivity. Also the book will contribute to a better understanding of the information needs of small- scale farmers in Tanzania. The book will also create awareness of the problems facing small- scale farmers in accessing agricultural information and the recommended solutions to the problems.
