Finfings: The results revealed that there are three mechanisms of agricultural information services that rely on government actions, market flows, and local community initiatives. The analysis of statistics on the owners of the right to reproduce the agricultural software packages indicates that agricultural research institutes and universities are the main developers of agricultural software and play a leading role in their research and development.
Conclusion: Accurate and informative knowledge-based agricultural techniques are the main drivers of sustainable agricultural production, whose potential contribution to agriculture can be addressed through lower costs, increased efficiency and improved productivity.
