Although electronic media, such as television, and many other forms of information technology, have rapidly reached the masses, radio is still in use as a sensitive medium. Therefore, radio can be used efficiently for the agricultural communication process.

The Farm Broadcasting Service is playing a major roll with the radio communication on behalf of the Department of Agriculture. This institute is functioning under the National Agricultural Information and Communication Center of the Department of Agriculture.
