Specifically the study determined the relationship between farmers’ demographic and farm related attributes and access to ICTs and access to agricultural information via internet. Lastly, the research established the farmers’ perception on the effectiveness of ICTs in dissemination of agricultural and livestock information. Structured questionnaire was used to get the required data. It was found that there is a significant relationship between demographic attributes such as age and education and access to internet and agricultural information. It appears that there is reverse relationship between the age and the access to internet. Moreover, farmers in Myanmar are constrained by language barrier and lack of basic ICT knowledge. It is found that most of the farmers use ICTs as social and entertainment purpose. The results further revealed that education and size of land holding had highly significant positive relationship with access to agricultural information. The results of the study therefore reveal that there is a dire need for the effective implementation of policies on adequate and easy accessibility of agricultural information to the farmers to enhance the agricultural production and market access. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the demographic characteristics (age, gender and education level) of the farmers and use of native language should be considered when planning for different programs that involve ICTs in provision of agricultural information in order to get market access. Furthermore, ICTs should be used in complementarity to ensure equitable access of quality information by the majority of farmers. | | Curricular : | BBA/BSCS/GE/MBA/MSIT/PhDM | | Record link: | http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27828 |
