AGFAX Radio - Agriculture on Air

Agfax Radio is a monthly radio service serving over 80 radio stations in Africa. Each month, a pack of ready-to-broadcast radio features and interviews covering the latest information and news in farming, agricultural science, and rural development is distributed to radio stations across Africa. Agfax radio is a project of WRENmedia. Agfax Radio is funded by the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID).

I look forward to your assessment and analysis - Warren
