The Agricultural Commodity Exchange for Africa is an Internet based regional agricultural commodity exchange operating in the spot and forward markets[1]. ACE was founded with the help of The U.S. Agency for International Development.
It is intended to give small- scale farmers leverage in negotiating for their crops by providing farmers with reliable market information, both pre- and post-harvest, which improves competition and communications, and ensures higher prices for higher quality[2].
ACE also has helped improve access to local, regional and international markets for farmers, offering full transparency, enforceable contracts, an arbitration facility and more efficient and cost effective markets.
