Background of the Study
The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology into agriculture, often referred to as smart farming, is revolutionizing the sector by enabling real-time monitoring, data collection, and automation of processes. IoT solutions can help agribusiness firms optimize resource usage, enhance crop management, and increase yield (Abdullahi & Yusuf, 2023). However, in Kano State, agribusiness firms face significant challenges in adopting IoT solutions due to limited infrastructure, high implementation costs, and lack of technical expertise.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential of IoT solutions to transform agriculture, many agribusiness firms in Kano State struggle with their implementation. Challenges such as inadequate internet connectivity, financial constraints, and resistance to technological change hinder the adoption process. This study aims to examine these challenges and provide insights into overcoming them.
