“…They felt that more awareness about the paddy expert system app among farmers needs to be created for realization of the benefit by large number of farmers. These findings are similar with the findings of (Sunil rajoria et al, 2017). More than half (53.3 %) of the paddy farmers stated that lack of updating of new farm problems with solutions in the expert system as one of the constraints.…”

Agriculture is the most important sector in the Indian economy. It also plays a significant role in sustaining the security of livelihood for the country's millions of farmers. An expert system (ES) is a computer programme that is designed to emulate the logic and reasoning processes that an expert would use to solve a problem in his/her field of expertise, using artificial intelligence technology. The present study explored the constraints faced by paddy farmers and suggestions for effective utilization of paddy expert system app. The present study was carried out during December 2019 among paddy growers in the Vasudevanallur Block of Tirunelveli district. It was revealed that lack of awareness about the paddy expert system app, lack of updation of new farm problems with solution and lack of update about market price were the major constraints in paddy expert system app. All these constraints can be overcome by implementing suggestions provided by farmers like necessity for mass media advertisements/publicity regarding the app on paddy expert system could enhance the awareness among farmers, recent information about market price, new farm problems should be updated regularly on paddy expert system app. The study results will allow the expert system designers to adjust the content and procedures to match end users' expectation. The extension workers will have to demonstrate and train users in handling and using different mobile apps on expert system available in the public domain.

“…Although the course of time has witnessed concerted efforts to develop the agricultural sector of India through various ICT initiatives, frameworks and services, the constraints faced by farmers many a times defeat the objectives for which ICT tools have been constructed and implemented. For instance, the study carried out by Rajoria et al (2017) showed lack of training and practical exposure towards ICTs and low ICT literacy as the ‘most serious constraints’, whereas lack of awareness of benefits of ICTs, lack of skills in handling ICTs, poor finance and erratic power supply are considered as ‘serious constraints’ in the adoption of ICT initiatives. There are several issues that need to be addressed, and they chiefly revolve around inadequate accessibility of ICT services to rural farmers, lack of basic skills of using ICT facilities in agriculture and inability of government to deliver adequate ICT knowledge to farmers (Singh et al, 2015).…”

The desired higher growth in the agricultural sector can be achieved only when there is proper application of information and communication technology (ICT) with adequate investments from both public and private sectors. There is a great scope to implement ICT in order to communicate and integrate the entire agri-food supply chain. The beneficiaries of ICT in agriculture are not only confined to farmers but also encompass food processing companies and suppliers within the agri-food sector. The tools of ICT applications have the potential to provide networking of agriculture sector within the country and globally. It is against this backdrop that the present study not only addresses issues relating to the applications of ICT for economic change in the agricultural sector of India but also identifies the past and present major ICT initiatives in agriculture, the factors responsible for the success of ICT services and the elements of an appropriate framework for assessing the impact of ICT on agricultural development. It is observed that the application of ICT solutions for the development of rural India have been opening a vast range of possibilities to a majority of the population living in rural settings to cross the digital divide. The e-governance strategy for the agriculture sector is capable of exhibiting strategic flexibility to simultaneously integrate the opposing forces. JEL Classification: D83, D85, Q13, Q16

The facilitation of technology transfer to farmers plays a crucial role in enhancing agricultural productivity within the context of Bangladesh. In relation to this matter, a study was undertaken to evaluate the extent of problems faced by the farmers in utilizing Information Communication Technology (ICT) technologies for accessing rice production information. Data were collected from randomly selected 340 ICT tool using rice farmers of four selected districts of Bangladesh. The results indicated that majority (66.2%) of the rice farmers faced severe problem, compared to 27.9% and 5.9% of them faced moderate and low problem respectively in using ICT tools for receiving rice production technologies. Based on Standardized Problem Faced Index, top five severe problems were lack of ICT knowledge of farmers, high cost of internet packages, lack of training in using of ICT tools, high cost of ICT tools and required more time to learn using ICT tools. These problems may be minimized by providing necessary training to the farmers on using ICT tools for receiving rice production information, cost reduction of internet package and ICT tools, providing better internet connectivity, uninterrupted power supply as perceived by the farmers.
