Abstract

Information communication technology devices, such as mobile phones, are increasingly used in agricultural activities. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of mobile phone use on the production of harvested grain per hectare in Indonesia. Furthermore, household data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) and Propensity Score Matching (PSM) were used to address the bias of systematic differences in characteristics between the treated and control groups. The results showed that the amount of grain harvested per hectare (kg) was 27% higher in agricultural households using mobile phones. Other agricultural products, such as the amount of grain (kg), production value, and the amount of rice produced (kg) were also higher. Therefore, policymakers should promote and socialize the importance of using mobile phones on agricultural products to farmers. These findings also correspond to the limitations of the literature regarding the impact of mobile phone use on agricultural productivity. Further study is recommended to determine more aspects influencing the impact of mobile phones on the agricultural sector.
