ABSTRACT: Information and Communication Technologies have already been established as a potential tool for agricultural development. The study was intended to find out the problems faced by the farmers in using ICT media in agriculture. The study was carried out in three selected villages Shukhundi, Digdha and Khundia of Baria union of the Sadar upazila under Gazipur district in Bangladesh. Data were collected from 96 ICT user farmers selected proportionately from Khundia, Digdha and Shukhundi villages through purposive sampling method. Almost equal proportions of respondents faced minimum, high and medium levels of problems in using ICT media in agriculture respectively. The highest percentage of the respondents faced minimum level of problems in using ICT media in agriculture. The ‘low speed internet facilities’ was the highest ranked problem among ten problems. The farmers faced less problems in using ICT media in agriculture who had more education, annual family income, training exposure, use of ICT media in agriculture and service taken from agricultural service centers. The concerned authority may take necessary actions to ameliorate the problems in using ICT by the farmers.
