5. Challenges in E-agriculture

Lack of awareness and literacy among farmers about the use and benefits of e-agriculture.

Lack of digital infrastructure which includes lack of accessibility and affordability to internet, mobile phones, and other ICT devices.

Digital Divide also poses a challenge in adoption of e-agriculture.

Even where farmers have access to mobile phones, they are reluctant to talk on phone themselves and may employ a middle man who can distort the communication.
