In order to facilitate the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for accessing agricultural information by smallholders, it is critical to understand their perspectives on the use of ICT. However, few empirical studies have considered how smallholders utilise ICT in Central Vietnam. This research investigates the Central Vietnamese smallholders’ views on the extent of use of ICT for accessing agricultural information. A sample size of 250 smallholders was randomly selected from a total of 687 smallholders in Trieu Phong district, Central Vietnam. A two-section questionnaire was used to gather data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The smallholders used mobile phones, TV and radio networks/broadcasts as the common ICT tools, and these were also effective ICT tools for accessing agricultural information. Lack of knowledge and skills for using applications on mobile phones were the main challenge to the smallholders’ use of ICT. A statistically significant relationship, existing between the extent of mobile phone use and the smallholders’ age (χ = 10.04, p = 0.040), gender (χ = 5.99, p = 0.014) and the type of households (χ = 6.84, p = 0.033), was found. Similarly, there was a statistically significant relationship existing between the extent of radio network/broadcast use and the smallholders’ age (χ = 9.58, p = 0.048) and gender (χ = 4.83, p = 0.028).

为了促进小农采用信息和通信技术（ICT）来获取农业信息，了解他们对ICT的使用的观点至关重要。但是，很少有实证研究考虑过小农如何在越南中部利用信通技术。这项研究调查了越南中部小农户对使用ICT来获取农业信息的程度的看法。从越南中部特里乌县的687个小农户中随机抽取250名小农户作为样本。使用两部分调查表收集数据。描述性和推断性统计数据用于分析数据。小农使用手机，电视和广播网络/广播作为常见的ICT工具，这些也是获取农业信息的有效ICT工具。小农使用信通技术的主要挑战是缺乏在手机上使用应用程序的知识和技能。在使用手机的程度与小农户的年龄（χ= 10.04，p = 0.040），性别（χ= 5.99，p = 0.014）和家庭类型（χ= 6.84，p = 0.033）。同样，无线电网络/广播的使用范围与小农户的年龄（χ= 9.58，p = 0.048）和性别（χ= 4.83，p = 0.028）之间存在统计上显着的关系。发现移动电话的使用程度与小农户的年龄（χ= 10.04，p = 0.040），性别（χ= 5.99，p = 0.014）和家庭类型（χ= 6.84，p = 0.033）之间存在相关性。 。同样，无线电网络/广播的使用范围与小农户的年龄（χ= 9.58，p = 0.048）和性别（χ= 4.83，p = 0.028）之间存在统计上显着的关系。发现移动电话的使用程度与小农户的年龄（χ= 10.04，p = 0.040），性别（χ= 5.99，p = 0.014）和家庭类型（χ= 6.84，p = 0.033）之间存在相关性。 。同样，无线电网络/广播的使用范围与小农户的年龄（χ= 9.58，p = 0.048）和性别（χ= 4.83，p = 0.028）之间存在统计上显着的关系。
