We review the state of ICT and its impact on agricultural development in developing countries, documenting the rapid changes that have taken place over the last decade. Although there is still a wide gap in access between rural and urban areas, the spread of mobile phones in rural areas has led to important changes in the agricultural sector. We find that access to mobile phones has generally improved agricultural market performance at the macro level; impacts at the micro
level are mixed. There is also still limited evidence regarding the impact of market information systems (MIS) delivered through mobile phones on farm prices. Similarly, the rollout of extension programs though ICTs is still in an early stage, and little research is available regarding such programs’ impacts.
