Therefore, considerable awareness, familiarity and buy-in already exist among key agents/participants.

In India, for example, initiatives undertaken have included:
- Education and capacity-building
- Electronic nationwide price dissemination networks
- Rollout of mobile, handheld and satellite-enabled connectivity
- National spot exchange
- State of art, standardised warehousing facilities at pan India level
- Integrated collateral management agency

In Africa, the goal is also to systematically address the deficiencies that currently hold back African commodity producers
