摘要

由于发展中国家农业市场效率低下，Kudu是一个在乌干达运作的电子市场，旨在促进农业贸易。商人和农民用功能手机告诉Kudu他们想买什么和卖什么，Kudu提出有利可图的匹配。Kudu由村内服务和呼叫中心提供支持。在过去两年半的时间里，我们已经签约了超过21,000名用户，他们进行了总额超过190万美元的验证交易。

Designing and Evolving an Electronic Agricultural Marketplace in Uganda

Motivated by inefficiencies in agricultural markets in developing countries, Kudu is an electronic marketplace that operates in Uganda to facilitate agricultural trade. Traders and farmers tell Kudu what they want to buy and sell using a feature phone, and Kudu proposes profitable matches. Kudu is supported by in-village services and a call center. Over the past two and a half years we have signed up more than 21,000 users, who have performed verified transactions with an aggregate value of over $1.9 million USD.
