| dc.description | The development of ICT, gadgets and mobile applications has expanded exponentially so much
so, nobody in the country from children to elderly leave home without a gadget. This development
is also being observed among farm producers. It is posited that farmers used ICT for both
personal use as well as in their production as ICT will improve production and procurement of
farm supplies efficiency. This research attempts to explore the types of ICT that Malaysian
vegetable farmers used and factors that are influencing them to use ICT in their farm production.
The study used the Technology Acceptance Model framework to analyze factors affecting ICT
use. Face to face interviews were conducted on 360 respondents which were sampled by
proportionate stratified sampling. A standard questionnaire was used to collect all relevant data
needed for analysis. Descriptive factor and regression analyses were employed to the data
gathered to obtain the required results and objectives. The respondents comprised 86.2 % male;
Age from 17 to 78 years with a mean of 47 years old; most are educated until secondary schools.
Four factors, namely Perceive Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Subjective Norm, and
Facilitating Condition, were found to be positively influencing the attitude of Malaysian vegetable
farmers toward ICT usage. To enhance ICT usage among vegetable farmers, farmers training
and extension should be intensified. ICT info-structure should be extended to rural areas to
facilitate ICT use. | en_US |
