Poultry farmers in Kitunda, Tanzania, are preparing themselves for the internet age and adopting the use of modern software programmes to access poultry information.

Yessaya Mbwambo, Secretary of the Kitunda based group, Kiombo poultry keeping said that they had recently received training from the Tanzania library Service Board on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as well as the various applications of computers and potential benefits of the internet particularly in accessing vast amounts of information.

Mbwambo however reported the lack of well-established ICT infrastructure.

To worsen matters, the poultry farmers are still facing some of the more rudimental troubles, such inadequacy of start up as well as working capital.
