Do Local Producers Quit Because of Lack of Digital Literacy

[muskanislam25]

Lack of digital literacy is increasingly a key factor causing local producers to quit or struggle in today’s market. As commerce and marketing shift online, producers who cannot effectively use digital tools risk falling behind.

Digital literacy involves skills like managing social media, setting up online stores, understanding e-commerce logistics, and using digital payment systems. Many small producers, especially older generations or those in rural areas, have limited access to training and technology, making these tasks daunting.

Without digital skills, local producers face challenges such as reduced market telegram data visibility, inability to reach wider audiences, and difficulties competing with larger or tech-savvy businesses. They may also struggle with online customer service, order management, and digital marketing, limiting growth potential.

This digital gap can lead to frustration, financial losses, and ultimately decisions to quit when producers feel unable to keep up with modern demands. The pandemic highlighted this issue, with many producers unable to transition to online sales effectively.

However, programs that provide digital training, affordable technology access, and ongoing support have proven successful in helping producers adapt and remain competitive. Building digital literacy strengthens resilience and opens new markets.
