@Ngong, in my opinion I think that would so much depend on the variety you have. If it is the variety consumed locally, then brokers may come in handy. If it is for export, I think a link to the buyers who do it for export is imperative;which I want to believe is a factor you must have taken into consideration as you embarked on the project.
On the ground, I am a little sceptical brokers would be of great help towards the export variety. I am aware these varieties differ in their market too.
Hope this helps.

Thanks much,am preparing the farm now for planting by end month, thats why am seeking information if there are some exporters/borkers who contract for specific varieties before I engage blindly.
