Background of the Study
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of interconnected devices that communicate and exchange data to improve operations and decision-making. In agriculture, IoT technologies are used to monitor crops, optimize irrigation systems, track livestock, and collect environmental data to enhance productivity. In Yobe State, the adoption of IoT technologies in the agricultural sector has the potential to revolutionize farming practices by improving operational efficiency, reducing waste, and increasing yields. This study will examine how IoT adoption affects the operational efficiency of smart agricultural businesses in Yobe State (Musa & Ibrahim, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
While IoT technologies hold great promise for improving agricultural productivity, many smart agricultural businesses in Yobe State face challenges in fully integrating these technologies. Issues such as high implementation costs, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of technical knowledge can limit the effectiveness of IoT adoption. This study will explore how IoT adoption influences operational efficiency in the agricultural sector and identify barriers to its successful implementation (Aliyu & Alhaji, 2024).
