Assessing farmers’ satisfaction with the quality of agricultural-extension services is essential for developing extension programs that comply with farmers’ needs and agroecological conditions. This study aimed to determine factors influencing farmers’ satisfaction with extension services. Data were collected through a questionnaire from a random sample of 393 farmers in the Kafr El Sheikh governorate. Farmers assessed the quality of extension services by five main indicators: (1) availability, (2) accessibility, (3) diversity, (4) relevance, and (5) effectiveness. Descriptive statistics and a logistic-regression model were used to analyze the data. Results showed that farmers had lowly participated in the provided extension services. The accessibility of services was ranked first with regard to satisfaction, while diversity of services was the lowest-ranked quality attribute. Results also revealed that factors significantly influencing farmers’ satisfaction included farm size, diversity of farming activities, annual income, and participation in extension services. Results provide practical implications for policy makers to support smallholder farmers by providing high-quality extension programs.

农户对农业推广服务质量满意度的影响因素

评估农民对农业推广服务质量的满意度对于制定符合农民需求和农业生态条件的推广计划至关重要。本研究旨在确定影响农民对推广服务满意度的因素。数据是通过问卷调查从 Kafr El Sheikh 省的 393 名农民的随机样本中收集的。农民通过五个主要指标评估推广服务的质量:(1) 可用性,(2) 可及性,(3) 多样性,(4) 相关性和 (5) 有效性。描述性统计和逻辑回归模型用于分析数据。结果表明,农民对所提供的推广服务的参与度较低。服务的可及性在满意度方面排名第一,而服务的多样性是排名最低的质量属性。结果还显示,显着影响农民满意度的因素包括农场规模、农业活动的多样性、年收入和参与推广服务。结果为决策者通过提供高质量的推广计划来支持小农提供了实际意义。
