发展中国家的农产工业部门面临着各种挑战，如要求增加粮食产量和产量，以及为农村和贫困人口创造就业机会。此外，农业部门受到全球因素和快速变化的影响。这些事实表明，迫切需要信息和信息技术(IT)来应对挑战和变化，改善农业生产和销售。然而，信息技术在农业中的潜力并没有得到充分的利用。与其他经济部门相比，农业部门和农村地区实施信息技术的速度相对较慢，在这些部门中，现代信息技术的实施速度很快。本文的目的是分析信息技术在农业企业中的作用、潜力和贡献，并解释信息技术在农业领域的许多领域的应用机会。我们的发现基于经济学理论和现有文献，表明信息技术在支持农民和其他利益相关者提高农业效率、效益和生产率方面具有巨大潜力。然而，利益相关者在信息技术的实施和使用中必须应对许多限制和问题。
The agro-industrial sector in developing countries is faced with challenges, such as requirement for increase of food production and yield and creation of opportunity for employment of rural and poor population. In addition, the agricultural sector is influenced by global factors and fast changes. These facts indicate that there is great need for information and information technologies (IT), which can be used to cope with the challenges and changes and to improve agricultural production and marketing. However, the potential of IT is not fully utilized in agriculture. Implementation of IT in agricultural sector and rural areas is relatively slow in comparison to the other sectors of the economy where contemporary IT has been implemented at high speed. The aim of the paper is to analyze role, potential and contribution of IT in agribusiness and to explain opportunities for use of IT in many fields of agricultural sector. Our findings are based on economic theory and available literature, and they suggest that IT has great potential for supporting farmers and the other stakeholders in improvement of efficiency, effectiveness and productivity of agriculture. However, the stakeholders have to cope with many limitations and problems in IT implementation and use.
