Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of the type of ICT usage on household income from main vegetables, agriculture (including main vegetables), and total income. This study is based on surveys and interviews with vegetable farmers using structured questionnaires conducted in three villages in Indonesia, including Cianjur, Sleman, and Malang in West Java, Yogyakarta, and East Java, respectively. The data were collected from 375 respondents selected in each region from November 2021 to March 2022. An econometric model called the multivariate linear regression (MLR) model is used to assess heterogeneous factors that influence the possibility of increasing the income of vegetable farmers. The study found that variables that use ICT as a primary variable, household, marketing, geographical characteristics, and immediate source information in agriculture have a significant impact on household income (P < 0.01) from primary vegetables, agriculture, and total income, with multiple R squares of 70.5, 72.0, 73.7% and F statistics of 28.48, 30.66, and 33.34, respectively. In summary, this novel study shows that the five categories of information technology used in farming and selling of harvest have a positive impact on household incomes
