This research focused on evaluating the utilization of ICTs by women farmers in North-Eastern Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling method, which included both purposive and simple random sampling techniques, was used to select 359 women farmers for the study. Primary data were gathered and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics to meet the study's objectives. The majority of respondents (78.0%) were married, with a mean age of 41 years. Most of the respondents (52.5%) were involved in trading, and the average farm size was 3.4 hectares. Additionally, 88.3% had a high social participation score, and 51.7% and 58.9% were aware of old and new ICTs, respectively. Majority of the participants benefited from access to information on fertilizer sources and application (74.9%), credits, grants, and loans (70.8%), market rates and locations (63.1%), and crop pests, diseases, and control (62.1%) through the use of ICTs. Most of the respondents faced several constraints: high cost of gadgets (73.5%), insufficient time allotted to agricultural programmes (73.5%), lack of or inadequate ICT infrastructure (62.3%), expensive power/electricity prices (61.3%), defective equipment (57.8%), and multiple responsibilities of women farmers (54.3%). The regression analysis showed that age, marital status, religion, farm size, household size, and occupations did not significantly affect ICT utilization. However, educational attainment, participation in social organizations, and awareness were significant factors influencing the use of ICTs among women farmers. Based on these findings, it was recommended that the Federal Government of Nigeria should prioritize the establishment of essential infrastructure aimed at promoting and facilitating the utilization of ICTs among women farmers.
Globally, women in agriculture are playing a significant role in food production. According to the United Nations Report on the status of the world’s women (2019), women are twice as likely as men to be involved in agricultural activities. In sub-Saharan Africa, about 90% of rural women participate in farming. They undertake over 70% of agricultural production tasks, manage all aspects of food processing and utilization, and handle half of the storage and marketing activities (Nwosu and Akintola, 2021). Women farmers are active in both rural and urban areas, engaging in diverse income-generating activities such as food processing, marketing, collecting and selling non-timber forest products, and crafting, all aimed at supporting their families and improving their living standards (Abdulahi, et al., 2023).
The scenario in Nigeria mirrors this global trend. According to National Bureau of Statistics (2020), women make up roughly 60% of the farming population and perform up to 70% of the actual agricultural labour. In the ten stages of the food production chain—land clearing, harrowing, planting, weeding, harvesting, transportation, processing, distribution, marketing, storing, and cooking—only the initial two stages are predominantly managed by men. Women take charge of the subsequent stages and oversee approximately 70% of the remaining activities, all while balancing their regular domestic responsibilities. This highlights the indispensable role of women farmers in Nigeria in advancing agricultural development and ensuring food production (Ameh, et al., 2023; Adeyemi, et al., 2023).
Despite their significant contributions to food production across both rural and urban areas of Nigeria, women farmers historically have not been recognized as productive. Adeboye (2022) explains that this perception stemmed from women typically working as unpaid family labour, with their contributions not economically quantified. Consequently, women farmers have faced marginalization and have had limited access to crucial production resources such as fertile land, credit, extension services, and technology. This underscores the importance of leveraging Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to empower women farmers by providing them with essential information to enhance their productivity. Globally, there are many stories demonstrating how ICTs have transformed societies and improved the livelihoods of marginalized groups. Therefore, women farmers, many of whom reside in rural areas and are responsible for feeding their families (Okoye, 2020), can capitalize on ICT opportunities to access information on improved agricultural practices. This access can help them increase their agricultural output, thereby meeting the growing food demands driven by population growth and urbanization (Iliyasu, et al., 2023).
Eze and Okeke (2021) characterize Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as a diverse range of electronic technologies that, when creatively combined, are adaptable, flexible, and transformative, capable of reshaping social relationships and organizational structures. The spectrum of ICTs continues to expand, with a convergence occurring between new media—such as computers, mobile phones, and the internet—and traditional media, including radio, television, telephone, newspapers, and extension bulletins. Obasi (2022) views ICTs as a collection of technologies, both new and old, that facilitate human and digital communication. They highlight the benefits of merging these media types for women, citing devices like phones with radio capabilities, media centers with computing functions, and digital televisions. In essence, ICTs encompass the use of radio, video, telephone, computer-based technologies, and the internet to deliver information and communication services to users (FAO, 2020). The strength of ICTs lies in their ability to integrate old and new technologies seamlessly. Amadi and Ugwu (2023) observe that even books are now part of ICTs through web publishing or digital formats like dedicated e-readers or e-books. Hence, ICTs represent a growing array of technologies utilized for gathering, storing, and disseminating information across various devices and media platforms (Sennuga, et al., 2023).
The effectiveness of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in addressing various developmental challenges hinges significantly on their convergence and the quality of the content they deliver. Convergence is powerful because it recognizes that no single medium is inherently superior; rather, combining multiple media often proves more effective and efficient than relying on any one alone, regardless of its capabilities. The quality of content is equally crucial. When ICTs are equipped with relevant and meaningful messages, they become powerful tools for communication and information dissemination. Therefore, ICTs have the ability to greatly enhance information sharing among small-scale farmers if deployed effectively. In this study, ICTs are defined broadly to GSM-phones, television, encompass radio, newspapers, telephone, video, the internet, extension bulletins and computer-based technologies. Each of these mediums plays a role in facilitating communication among users, highlighting the diverse and interconnected nature of ICTs in supporting development initiatives (Sennuga, et al., 2023).
As contributors to farming activities, women play an essential role in providing food for their families. However, their involvement extends beyond farming, as women in the area are also engaged in marketing, gathering non-timber forest products, and crafting. Despite the significance of women's participation in agricultural production and household management, they often do not have access to dependable and thorough information regarding contemporary agricultural methods that could enhance their efficiency and overall well-being. This information gap is often linked to disparities in access to economic and political resources (Okwu and Obasi, 2022). Therefore, it is imperative to empower women by granting them access to information on advanced agricultural methods. Women farmers require information across various aspects of agricultural production, including marketing crop and animal farming, input procurement, processing, post-harvest management, and storage, among others.
The traditional extension approach for disseminating information on enhanced agricultural practices primarily relies on face-to-face training and instructional methods. However, these traditional approaches frequently do not adequately tackle the difficulties encountered by female farmers. These challenges include their limited uptake of technologies, demanding workloads, insufficient access to education and training, and busy schedules managing multiple tasks (Achukwu, et al., 2023). Additionally, the current extension system has limited reach, with a scarcity of female agricultural extension agents available to assist the majority of Nigerian women farmers, many of whom live in remote and hard-to-access rural regions. Consequently, effectively delivering agricultural extension services to most women farmers becomes a significant challenge. Therefore, it is crucial to devise novel methods for conveying information about enhanced agricultural techniques to a broader spectrum of female farmers, irrespective of their geographical settings. This highlights the significance of incorporating Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into the distribution of agricultural knowledge to female farmers. ICTs present an opportunity to disseminate extensive information to rural communities and extension service agencies in a more prompt, thorough, and economical fashion (Sennuga, 2023).
However, research conducted by Kwatsha and Okoh (2020), Adeniyi and Arimi (2021), Chukwu and Nwosu, (2023), and Oluwatobi, Adewale and Ifeoma (2022) has indicated notwithstanding the potential of ICTs to gather, process, and distribute information among agricultural stakeholders interactively, women farmers, who bear primary responsibility for agricultural activities, face barriers in accessing ICTs. Even among those who have access, there is variability in usage patterns. This indicates that women farmers in North-Eastern Nigeria likely encounter challenges in accessing ICTs. Such restricted access and uneven usage exacerbate the disparity in information, leading to a digital division, while ICT use remains marginal. Consequently, to improve access to agricultural information among women farmers, it is imperative to assess their ICT use by investigating their subjective norms, behavioural control, and past experiences. With this context, the study aims to achieve the following specific objectives, which are to:
Literature Review
Theoretical Framework
The study is grounded in behaviour theories, particularly focusing on their predictive capacity and their influence on behaviour towards specific objects, events, or individuals. These theories aim to anticipate the reasons behind individuals' behaviours in particular situations. Specifically, the study draws from the theories of reasoned action and planned behaviour to understand and predict behavioural patterns.
Theory of reasoned action
The theory of reasoned action offers a structure for examining behaviours associated with technology usage. As outlined by Ajzen and Fishbein (1980), the key predictor of an individual's behaviour is their behavioural intention. This intention to engage in a specific behaviour is shaped by two primary factors: the individual's attitude towards engaging in the behaviour and the impact of influential individuals in their lives. The individual's attitude toward the behaviour comprises their behavioural beliefs and the evaluation of the outcomes of that behaviour, while subjective norms encompass normative beliefs and the willingness to adhere with those norms.
A person's conduct (in this scenario, engagement with a technology) is influenced by belief regarding the likely outcome and their evaluation of said outcome. If the individual sees the technology's outcome as advantageous, they'll harbour a positive outlook on its use; conversely, if they view the outcome as disadvantageous, their attitude toward the technology will be negative.
Theory of planned behaviour
Ajzen (1985) formulated the theory to forecast behaviour in scenarios where individuals have limited control. The theory of planned behaviour introduces a third factor to behaviour prediction: perceived behavioural control. This encompasses one's proficiency in utilizing the technology, alongside the other factors elucidated in the theory of reasoned action. Perceived behavioural control refers to an individual's sense of capability in executing a specific behaviour. It primarily relates to one's capacity to afford technology usage when needed and their confidence in performing or refraining from the behaviour. This elucidates the level of confidence a woman farmer, for example, has in her capability to utilize the technology.
Conceptual Framework
The model depicted that the socioeconomic and institutional traits of women farmers can directly affect their adoption of ICTs. The utilization of ICTs, serving as the dependent variable, gauges the frequency and efficacy of extension agents' use of these technologies in their tasks. Independent variables, including education age, marital status, farm size, religion, household size, occupations and organizational involvement, also considered, directly influencing the level of ICT usage. Intervening variables, such as ICT network coverage, government policies on ICTs, and existing ICT infrastructure, act as mediators in the correlation between the independent variables and the dependent variable.
Study Area
The research was conducted in North-Eastern Nigeria, comprising six states: Adamawa, Borno, Gombe, Bauchi, Taraba, and Yobe. This region experiences an annual rainfall ranging from 750 mm to 1550 mm, with a rainfall duration of three to six months per year. The wettest months are typically August and September, while February and March are the driest, with a relative humidity of around 13% (Adamu and Akinyemi, 2020). Geographically, the area lies between latitude 7o 28’N and 10o 55’N of the Equator and longitude 11o 30’E and 13o 45’ E of the Greenwich Meridian. The region's population was estimated to be 23,168,101 people according to the National Population Census (NBS, 2021).
Agriculture serves as the primary source of income for the majority of the population, mainly through traditional subsistence farming practices. As outlined by Ibrahim and Mohammed (2021), the predominant crops cultivated in the region include millet, groundnut, maize, sorghum, rice, yam, cowpea, soybeans, sesame, cassava, cotton, and sweet potato. Furthermore, during the dry season, there is intensive cultivation of vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes, spinach, garden egg, onion, and okra, among others. Alongside crop cultivation, some farmers engage in livestock rearing, including cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, and poultry.
Population of the Study and Research Design
The study population consists of women farmers residing in North-Eastern Nigeria, spanning across the states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe. This diverse population ensures that the research encompasses a broad perspective on the utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) among women farmers in the region. The research methodology chosen for this study is a descriptive survey, aimed at systematically collecting data on the utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) among women farmers. This method is particularly suitable for capturing the opinions, attitudes, and behaviours of a substantial population, thereby laying a robust foundation for identifying trends and patterns. Through this approach, the study endeavours to offer comprehensive insights into the current state of ICT integration among women farmers in North-East Nigeria.
Sample Size and Sampling Techniques
In the northeastern region of Nigeria, there are six states, each containing an equal probability of selection. However, for the purpose of this research, two states will be chosen randomly to ensure a thorough representation of the area. This method of selection is designed to encompass diverse geographical regions within the states effectively.
To identify women farmers, a multi-stage sampling method will be utilized. Initially, two states were purposefully selected from the North-East region for data collection, chosen due to their significant population of women farmers. This deliberate sampling strategy ensures that the chosen states adequately reflect the various circumstances of extension service provision in both rural and urban settings within the region. The selected primary states are Adamawa and Bauchi, jointly comprising more than 70% of the women farmers in the area.
Once the states are identified, we'll use a simple random sampling technique to choose the women farmers. This approach is crucial for preserving the statistical validity of the sample, ensuring that each woman farmer in the selected communities has an equal opportunity to participate in the study. To accomplish this, we'll employ a random number generator to select a sample of three hundred and fifty-nine (359) respondents.
Data Collection
The primary instrument used for data collection in this study was a structured questionnaire. These surveys were conducted to collect data, with each session lasting around 1 hour and 15 minutes. The primary themes investigated in the questionnaire covered the socio-cultural and institutional attributes of women farmers, their awareness of ICTs, their attitudes toward ICT usage, factors influencing their ICT usage, as well as the perceived benefits and constraints associated with ICT usage. To ensure the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, it underwent a pre-test during a pilot study. This preliminary assessment involved 40 female farmers chosen from Kaltungo Zone in Gombe State, an area not included in the primary main sample. Through this pilot study, any ambiguities or concerns with the questionnaire were identified, allowing for adjustments to improve its effectiveness and clarity.
Data Analysis
The gathered data was analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics, encompassing percentages, frequency counts, and means presented in tables. Additionally, inferential techniques, like the logit regression model, were applied. Goals (i), (ii), (iii), and (v) were addressed through descriptive statistics, while objective (iv) was fulfilled via the logit regression model. Data analysis was facilitated by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.
Model specification
Logit Regression Model
A logistic regression model was employed to ascertain the factors influencing the utilization of ICT by women farmers in the study area. The regression equation is represented as:
Y = f (X1, X2, X3, X4, X6, X7, X8, X9)
The Logit model in its explicit form is expressed as:
Y = βo + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3 + β4X4 + β5X5 + β6X6 + β7X7 + β8X8 + β9X9 + e
Where;
Y = Women farmers’ utilization of ICTs
e = Regression constant
X1 = Age
X2 = Marital status
X3 = Religion
X4 = Household size
X5 = Occupation
X6 = Farm size
X7 = Level of education
X8 = Membership of organizations
X9= Awareness
Socio-cultural Characteristics of Respondents
The findings showed in Table 1 reveal that a significant portion (43.5%) of female farmers fell within the age bracket of 41 to 50 years, with 35.0
The research aimed to explore the current status of ICT utilization, awareness, advantages, limitations, and the key influencers of its usage within the female farming community in the surveyed region. The women farmers predominantly operated on a small scale, and a significant portion of them possessed a notable level of formal education, surpassing primary education. This educational background has led to an increased adoption of digital ICTs, consequently enhancing access to information on enhanced agricultural methodologies among female farmers in North Eastern Nigeria. Many of these female farmers actively participated in various social groups, with religious women's groups being particularly prevalent. These groups played a crucial role in disseminating awareness about ICTs among the respondents. Moreover, a substantial number of women farmers exhibited significant involvement in organizational activities, potentially fuelling their interest in utilizing ICTs. As for ICT usage patterns, radio, television, GSM phones, and video platforms emerged as the most commonly employed tools among women farmers.
Additionally, because of the homogeneity within the female farming community, notable distinctions were not discerned regarding age, farm size, marital status, household size, religion, and occupations concerning ICT adoption among women farmers. Likewise, elements such as educational achievement, engagement in social groups, and awareness were recognized as pivotal in shaping the utilization of contemporary ICT tools by women farmers in the surveyed region. This utilization is expected to improve the efficient and timely dissemination of extension messages, thereby facilitating the prompt delivery of current and pertinent information.
Harnessing ICTs offers substantial potential for improving rural livelihoods and the agricultural sector, which are closely connected with the well-being of numerous women farmers grappling with poverty. To unlock this potential, there is a pressing need for heightened investment in ICT initiatives that are in sync with contemporary technologies, encompassing both human resources and capital. Based on the results of this study, the following suggestions have been proposed:
