Video distribution

3GP files      Video compilations and translations

Access Agriculture works with a large network of extension and communication professionals and enterprises to encourage and promote the distribution of videos in local languages. We can help you develop a strategy to significantly enhance impact at farmers’ level. This can include preloading videos onto laptops, tablets and smartphones.
