Linguistic and family bonds, which are prevalent in informal trade, make up for the non-availability of credit, but they are often insufficient for long distance trade, for which credit and guarantees are required in order to reproduce equivalent levels of trust. The challenge is even more significant for agricultural exporters, who often state lack of access to credit as the single biggest factor constraining their growth (Cardno, 2010). Financing trade is complicated further by the lack of efficient payment mechanisms to cover insurance requirements and customs guarantees for transiting consignments, as also shown by the case study on the cashew nut sector in Mozambique, as well as by the non-convertibility of certain currencies. The system relies on individuals feeding prices for standardized commodities through mobile phones to a server that makes these data available to others on their mobile phones. It allows access to prices, stock, offers and harvest information, communication with clients and members, tracking stock and inventory, finding buyers and sellers and pulling interactive data from the field.
