Assessment using treatment effects models shows improved technology adoption and rice yield among smallholder farmers, suggesting a need for better extension services.
Key Points
Rice yield increases 35–56% with effective interventions from digital services and training for farmers.
Treatment effects model and other methods revealed significant improvements in technology adoption and crop outcomes.
Combining digital extension with agricultural training provides greater benefits over training alone for food security.
Internet access challenges may limit implementation of these effective agricultural practices in rural areas.
