The Role of Diffusion of Innovation in Agricultural to Compete in Asean Community

Abstract

Diffusion of innovation is one of the most needed in agribusiness farming. Many farmers failed to increase their income. Besides, they lost their income and even their land because they couldn’t be able to solve their problems which the national development of agriculture business seemed impossible to overcome the problems and the obstacles to resolving thoroughly as the requirement needed more serious attention. The innovation was a key factor for agribusiness growth, development and the welfare of chili pepper farmer. Diffusion of chili pepper farming had given differences in innovativeness to determine the characteristic of the adopter categories. But the communication and adoption process could explain the need of diffusion of innovation. The important in diffusion was the time dimension in chronology and not as history. Innovation was treated as both products of contradiction and caused of new contradiction and the process of adoption as both being structured was changed after all. When a new idea adopted, the innovations required in the period of time to become available. A new technology as a smart technology adopted and transformed in a learning process. By having to identify and examining the WHY and HOWs of the interface the farmer and innovation systems would, therefore, create a very good intervention ground to make a rational use of resources and knowledge for the development of agribusiness farming systems.

Gender and access to complex and gender-biased agricultural technology information and knowledge: Evidence from smart-valleys in West Africa

“…However, despite the huge number of yield-enhancing agricultural technologies existing in Africa, their adoption by farmers remains strikingly low explaining persistent productivity deficits and poverty among rural populations. One of the key factors explaining this substantial gap is related to the lack of farmers' access to the technical information and knowledge (TIK) about these technologies (Brown et al, 2018(Brown et al, , 2017Mardiana and Kembauw, 2020;Riungu et al, 2021). According to Jack (2013), technologies that are profitable will not be taken up without TIK about their existence, use, and profitability, especially when the technologies are new, technically intricate, or require precise implementation.…”

Informal Institutional Barriers to Access and Utilisation of Newcastle Disease Vaccines among Women Smallholder Chicken Farmers in Makueni, Kenya

“…Farmers displayed their doubt of using a technology that has been introduced in the recent past. Diffusion and adoption of ND vaccines can be described as an innovation that requires promoters to educate farmers to use as pointed out in the diffusion of innovation theory (32). Many farmers displayed disinterest in ND vaccines pointing to the fact that chicken rearing has been in existence for ages while ND vaccines can be traced to less than 15 years by farmers.…”

Opportunities and Barriers for FinTech in SAARC and ASEAN Countries

“…It is also argued that the low costs associated with FinTech payment services to consumers can boost their spending, which in turn can enhance the growth of businesses (Agarwal et al 2020). Fintech platforms can help reduce the cost of borrowing by assisting financial institution to be more efficient (Mardiana and Kembauw 2021). The broader implications of FinTechs are also noted and can act as drivers of these services at a national level.…”
