From several existing studies, farmers and agricultural extension workers use the internet and online media such as social media for extension activities. Apart from providing farmers with the impact of increasing knowledge from this information, farmers also get an indirect impact, namely increasing the production of their agricultural products. Farmers can also utilize information and communication technology for the purpose of selling their agricultural products and various other needs.
