Understanding the impact of 4g in agriculture sector of bangladesh

Abstract

Recently fourth generation (4G) launched in Bangladesh. It has many impacts on our daily life such as day to day communication, economy, technology etc. This research will investigate the impacts of 4G in the agriculture sector of Bangladesh. Bangladeshi farmers are not very aware of the Internet and mobile application. Because of this, they do not get proper information timely and most of the time struggle to get the appropriate solution for their different farming problems. In this study, we have collected interview data of the farmers of two different districts. We analysed the data using manual coding techniques. The result shows that the way the government providing the agricultural support to the farmers is not properly technology supported, on the other hand, the farmers are not so familiar with the Internet, smartphone and mobile applications. To minimise this gaps we have formulated a few guidelines for both farmers and government officials. The result of our study will help the farmers, in the long run, to improve their farming through technological support.
