“…In this sense, it is noted that there were no women in the sample surveyed. This is not surprising, as the respondents were all heads of households, and at the national level, the rate of women considered as heads of household in rural areas does not exceed 4%, moreover, these women take on this responsibility in the majority of cases following the death of the husband (Moisseron et al, 2019).…”

Despite the undeniable advantages of innovative agricultural production technology, their adoption rate in Morocco is relatively low. In addition to research institutes and private institutions, agricultural information is provided by extension agents who are limited in terms of financial and logistical resources. In this study, we examine, on the one hand, the factors influencing the adoption of mobile phones to access extension services. On the other, we measure the impact of this adoption on wheat production and farmers’ income in the province of Settat (Morocco). In this study we use data collected through a survey of 130 farmers from the province of Settat (Morocco). As analysis methods, we use stratified sampling, descriptive statistics, and the propensity score matching model. The results revealed that farmers who use their mobile phones for extension purposes have slightly higher wheat production than those who do not. The developed model showed that the adoption of mobile phone-based extension services is influenced by farmer's age, educational level, primary source of income, the use of inorganic fertilizers, access to credit and the availability of road infrastructure. The study is a contribution to the efforts of various national stakeholders who have launched a national strategy focused on the digitalisation of extension services. Keywords: Adoption, Extension services, wheat production, Propensity score matching, Mobile phones.

This research investigates the impact of mobile Internet usage on economic empowerment of rural women in Morocco. Data were gathered from 37 women in a rural area near the metropolis of Casablanca. Results show a high adoption rate of mobile internet among the surveyed women. However, the survey indicates that women in this sample have rudimentary smartphone usage. Their usage was primarily limited to basic communication such as calls and messages. Very few used their devices for online selling, job searching, and accessing public services or educational resources. Additionally, 90% of respondents reported not generating any income through their smartphones. The remaining 10% occasionally managed to sell homemade goods online. Consequently, favorable policies are needed to enhance digital skills and knowledge of rural women to guarantee their access to the full potential of using technologies.
