The technological advancement in Intelligent Transport Systems and mobile phones enable massive collaborating devices to collect, process, and share information to support the sales and transportation of agricultural goods (agrogoods) from farmer to market within the Agriculture Supply Chain. Mobile devices, especially smartphones and intelligent Point of Sale (PoS), provide multiple features such as Global Positioning System (GPS) and accelerometer to complement infrastructure requirements. Despite the opportunity, the development and deployment of the innovative platforms integrating Agro-goods transport services with e-commerce and e-payment systems are still challenging in developing countries. Some noted challenges include the high cost of infrastructure, implementation complexities, technology, and policy issues. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework for integrating ITS services in agro-goods e-commerce, taking advantage of mobile device functionalities and their massive usage in developing countries. The framework components identified and discussed are Stakeholders and roles, User Services, Mobile Operations, Computing environment with Machine Learning support, Service goals and Information view, and Enabling Factors. A Design Science Research (DSR) method is applied to produce a framework as an artifact using a six-step model. Also, a case study of potato sales and transportation from the Njombe region to Dar es Salaam city in Tanzania is presented. The framework constructs the ability to improve information quality shared among stakeholders; provide a cost-effective and efficient approach for buying, selling, payment, and transportation of Agriculture goods.

“…The action in this activity is the implementation of the program, which is planned to last for one month. Activities carried out in the implementation of the program agreed that the implementing team of community partnership program and students carry out several activities (Magesa et al, 2015), among others: 1) Improving the knowledge of the community, especially the citizens of Kalinyamat Wetan about the variety of packaging techniques, 2) Demonstrating innovations in packaging batik products, especially in order to compete in the International market, 3) Mentoring in describing the content of products (Sintya Rani et al, 2016).…”

Kalinyamat Wetan is one of the villages located in Tegal City, Central Java, Indonesia. Based on observations made by the community partnership program of Pancasakti Tegal University there are problems faced by our partners, namely: 1) the uneven economy of the residents of Kalinyamat Wetan Village. In general, the economy of The People of Kalinyamat Wetan is good enough, but there are some poor people in Kalinyamat Wetan who need capital assistance and skills courses so that it can be used for entrepreneurship, 2) The problem of lack of knowledge about innovations in the field of Industry. The level of education is still relatively low in Kalimat Wetan which leads to a lack of information and knowledge about the latest innovations to developments in the field of Industry. To answer the problem, we provide solutions through providing training to batik craftsmen to improve the quality of their batik packaging. This is done so that there is an increase in the turnover of batik sales in order to increase their revenue. The implementation of community partnership program activities in the village of Kalinyamat Wetan Tegal city consisting of planning, action and evaluation in general went lancer and successful. Residents in the village of Kalinyamat Wetan, especially batik craftsmen have been able to make a variety of batik packaging designs and are able to provide product descriptions in attractive batik packaging. Residents responded to this PKM activity with great enthusiasm.

“…More generally, the diffusion of mobiles—smartphones particularly—enables the spread of markets in various ways: Higher‐quality information delivered by mobile overcomes informational barriers to market operation (Magesa, Michael, & Ko, ). Use of mobile money removes or reduces some of the physical barriers to participation in markets (Kim, Zoo, Lee, & Kang, ). The micro‐payments feasible via mobile contracts enable increasing market‐based consumption of digital products such as games, ringtones and mobile services (Aker & Mbiti, ).…”

ICT4D 3.0? Part 2—The patterns of an emerging “digital‐for‐development” paradigm

There is evidence of "ICT4D 3.0": a new "digital-for-development" paradigm emerging in the relationship between digital technologies and international development.Part 1 of this paper looked at the component parts of that paradigm. Part 2, provided here, analyses the impact of the paradigm on development. It does this by looking for big-picture patterns in terms of two key logics that shape society: the logic of competition and the logic of cooperation. Looking at evidence in the economic and political domains, it finds that digital technologies are associated with a reproduction, diffusion, mutation and intensification of the dominant, competitive logic in developing countries. We see this in relation to capitalism, competitive markets and hierarchical state-citizen relations. At the same time, though, the digital-for-development paradigm is also associated with growing examples and opportunities for an alternative economics and an alternative politics based around cooperative logic. The paper ends with some suggestions for the future digital-for-development research agenda.ICT4D, digital-for-development, paradigm, trends, logics | INTRODUCTIONAs argued in Part 1 of this two-part paper, there is evidence of a new relationship between digital technologies and international development. It was suggested this might be called a "digital-for-development" paradigm, which could be understood through the framework shown in Figure 1.Part 1 laid out the components of that emerging paradigm: what were called its "foundations" and "building blocks." In this part of the paper, I look at the impact and implications of the paradigm; particularly seeking to understand some of its big-picture patterns in relation to two fundamental guiding forces for human society: competitive logic and cooperative logic.First, this paper briefly explains these two logics as the basis for viewing the impact of a digital-for-development paradigm. The main weight of the paper is then given to looking at evidence for five patterns of relation between the two logics: seen first in evidence from the digital economy and second in evidence about the intersection between digital technologies and politics in developing countries. The paper ends with a short conclusion and reflection on elements of a digital-for-development research agenda. | IMPACT OF THE DIGITAL-FOR-DEVELOPMENT PARADIGMThe impact of digital information and communication technologies (ICTs) on international development can be considered at the micro-level of the individual. There is, for example, an ongoing stream of evidence conceptualising this through one or more of three lenses (Heeks, 2014):• Economic: development as accumulation of financial capital.
