Abstract

This study investigates how the usage of ICT and signaling affects farmers' income in rural areas. Indonesian farmers employ a variety of ICT, including mobile phones, the internet, computers, and telephones. Indonesian farmers are frequently connected with a lack of ability to understand information technology. Furthermore, the village's poor facilities prevent farmers from adopting information technology, one of which is the presence of a signal. The 2018 national socioeconomic survey (susenas) is used in this study to examine the profile of people who work as farmers, and the 2018 village potential survey (podes) is used to determine the existence of current facilities in the village. The total sample size is 112,070 agricultural households from Indonesia. The ordinary least squares (OLS) approach was used to examine the impact of ICT elements on farmers' income, which included the ability to use ICT and the presence of 4G signals in the hamlet. According to the study's findings, farmers whose villages have a strong signal can improve their income. Farmers who use mobile phones in villages that receive 4G signals can also enhance their income.
