Farmers' perception of ICTs for disseminating agricultural input information is important in their adoption and use of ICTs. We investigated these perceptions and their effects on ICTs' use by small-scale cereal farmers in developing countries. Sikasso region in Mali was used as a case to gather data from 300 respondents. The perception was found to be a driver in the use of ICTs. Moreover, due to that, 95.13% of the respondents agreed that they would continue to use these ICTs. In addition, 75.84% strongly agreed of the respondents agreed that after they started using ICTs, it is easier for them to access and use agricultural input information. From these results, it is important to take the indicators of perception of ICTs i.e. relative advantage, compatibility and simplicity as the main factors determining the use of ICTs in the context of access and use of agricultural input information in developing countries.
