Internet User, Consumption and Employment in Agriculture in Indonesia

Abstract

The number of people who use the internet annually is used to gauge internet literacy, consumption, and the impact of agricultural education on work engagement in agriculture. In order to accomplish this, data behavior is predicted using the Quantitative Threshold Autoregressive method. This allows for the observation of the behavior of the relationship between the data and the growth in work participation in agriculture, which is driven by education, as well as the rise in internet users and consumption in Indonesia. The job threshold variable in agriculture, Internet usage, and consumption is used to analyze the threshold variable, whereas education is the non-threshold variable. It is hoped that historical behavior data will serve as a predictor of future decision-making. We discovered that the internet is a technology that can raise farmers' productivity by more than 100% and increase consumer demand for agricultural goods based on the estimated results of the inclusion of the internet in Indonesia on people's consumption of agricultural products and the performance of farmers or people who work in the agricultural sector by 126 %. Where this can be achieved by encouraging education in the form of an increase in investment of 0.4%. These results suggest that the agricultural sector's progress in terms of production and distribution, as well as the convenience of consumer transactions for purchasing agricultural products in Indonesia, is significantly influenced by technology and education in the field.
