In emerging nations, the use of information and communication technology
has considerably benefitted the advancement of agriculture, health, rural
development, and education. This technique has had a considerable impact on
the way agriculture is developed in third-world countries. For information on
the weather and prices, farmers now have direct access to the market, buyers,
customers, and the metrological department. Information and communication
technology has increased farmer incomes all over the world. It is now vital to
provide access to facilities and introduce technology to rural areas where
farmers lack knowledge, information, and skills regarding this technology.
Several studies have also demonstrated that the adoption of information and
communication technology tools in agricultural production has increased
agricultural productivity. A few of the major problems and challenges that
farmers encounter includes inadequate information transfer, poor agricultural
practices, record reconciliation between farmers, the government, and traders,
and a lack of understanding of the best farming techniques
