The focus of this study is to present Farm Management Information
System (FMIS) and its application in Agribusiness. FMIS is a software
designed for high productivity in farming business (fish farming as a
case study) and to assist agricultural farmers to perform various tasks
with ease such as operational planning, implementation,
documentation, and application for financial subsidies or grants. The
study presents the template that could be used for fish farmers in order
to ease their tasks. FMIS could be used by different stakeholders such
as farmers, government organizations, service providers, and
machinery or equipment or tools manufacturers to transfer information
among each other. This paper discovered that lack of interoperability,
insufficient stakeholder’s collaboration and a not clearly defined
business model has hampered the proper functioning and adaptation of
useful Information Communication Technologies (ICT’s) such as the
FMIS. Manual approach is limited in the affairs of better farm fish
management, one method by which this can be improved is by support
system which this work focuses to address. The FMIS software
designed uses C#, Visual Studio and SQL Server, will assist the users or
Fish or Farm managers in solving their day to day problems such as
accurate stocking record, sales/harvesting record, payment record
among others. The study concluded that with the application of FMIS
in Fish farming, the processing of farm information activities can be
automated to a large extent, thereby reducing processing time and increasing farm work accuracy. The study recommended that FMIS
training should be organized for Fish or Farm Managers in groups at
both the Local, State and Federal levels in order to improve their
efficiencies.
