Abstract: Information about the operations and production capacity of agricultural producers, on the one hand, and knowledge of how to integrate existing databases related to this sector at the micro and macro levels, on the other, can influence agribusiness policy adjustments and the creation of policies that will have the intended effects. Information exchange among government agencies, institutions, farmers, and other agricultural sector participants fosters greater understanding and expedites the settlement of issues impacting agricultural producers themselves. A conceptual framework for the agricultural industry's information system is presented in this article. Through the analysis of farm operations and based on expertise framework, the agricultural sector aims to promote the industry's expansion in a comprehensive and encompassing manner. This indicates that since they are the fundamental building blocks for creating a sizable database in this field, any organisations with information access ought to be included. When information from agricultural holding activities is combined with data from other sources, it gives agricultural producers a strong foundation for decision-making.
