The Philippines Government through the Department of Agriculture is embarking on developing and operating a functional information communication technology system with the end purpose of fast tracking agricultural development. It has developed and opened the e-learning system which is an on-line education/training system for farmers, agri-entrepreneurs and other interested persons on agricultural courses. This is currently operated by the Agricultural Training Institute (ATIs). Another is the Agriculture and Fisheries Information Management System (AFMIS) that provides information and likages as to agribusiness and and marketing matters, particularly linking producers, suppliers and buyers.

The DA has really recognized that through ICT, relevant information on government programs and services can be easier accessed by farmers, fishers and other stakeholders.

The challenge however that remain today is the ability of poor and small farmers and fishers to buy or own the gadgets and other hardwares needed for them to make use of the ICTs. (The DA however is now trying its best to address this problem. It is also operating School on the Air Programs being broadcasts through selected radio stations).
