Farmers' willingness to pay for smart farming technologies: Evidence from a smart drip irrigation technology in North China by Tao, Hui, Xiong, Hang, You, Liangzhi, Li, Fan

“…Their preference was significantly associated with their education, experience of being village cadres and using computers, household income and holding of land and machines. Further analysis show that farmers' WTP for functions facilitated by hardware is close to the estimated prices, whereas their WTP for functions wholly or partially facilitated by software is substantially lower than the estimated prices.Findings from the empirical study lead to policy implications for enhancing the design of SFTs by integrating software and hardware and optimizing agricultural extension strategies for SFTs with digital techniques such as videos.This study provides initial insights into understanding farmers' preferences and WTP for specific functions of SFTs with a DCE.…”
