“…The ANOVA test result of 0.000 c % (table 3.3 and 3.7 respectively) is also an indication of a significant relationship between social media and consumers' buying behavior. Several studies (Dirir, 2022;Inegbedion, Inegbedion, Asaleye, Obadiaru and Asamu, 2020;Al-Haddad, Al-Haddad, Qaqish and Yacoub, 2019;Balkrishna and Deshmukh, 2017) have come up with similar findings of a significant positive relationship between social media and consumers' buying behavior.…”

Furthermore, there is the possibility of identifying the best input prices since the exchange of information among agro-industrial actors is facilitated by these means of communication (Inegbedion et al, 2020;Palaniswamy and Krishna, 2022;Neto et al, 2015).…”

“…A plausible solution to this issue consists of creating sales channels that enable more efficient commercialization (Wang and Luo, 2019). Then, social networks have emerged as a highly relevant tool for farmers, as they not only allow for the exchange of information and acquisition of inputs at more affordable prices but also provide a platform for selling products and promoting their brand, potentially reaching new markets (Inegbedion et al, 2020).…”
