This study examined the use of information
communication technology (ICT) on securing marketing
information among small scale farmers in Niger State, Nigeria.
Data were obtained from 90 respondents through the use of
structured questionnaire. The information collected was
analyzed using descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic
regression technique. Results of the analysis showed that
majority of the respondents were in their active age of
production and were married. Most of the respondents
obtained their information from radio, television, and
newspaper. The finding also indicated that the years spent in
school and not the educational achievement is what is likely to
increase the probability of awareness. Problems identified with
regards to the usage of ICTs by the respondents include
language barrier, poverty, and illiteracy. It was therefore
recommended that government and nongovernmental
organizations should collaborate to include ICT workshop and
training in farmer education programmes, encourage
programmes like NYSC ICT volunteer group, and translate
technology to local languages.
