Smart farming is a trend in agriculture that involves incorporating information and communication technologies (ICT) into the production process. The study aims to get the factors that contribute to the current exposure to smart farming implementation on farmers from farmers' perspectives in Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia. The study includes the determination of correlation between factors and exposure implementation of smart farming. About 116 farmers have been selected from the population to conduct the questionnaire. The results were obtained by analysing using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software. It has been found that personal factors contribute the most to the exposure of smart farming implementation. A significant correlation between personal and environmental factors also has been discovered. Contrary, the security factors have no significant correlation with the exposure of smart farming implementation. Overall, the findings indicated that the implementation of smart farming exposure among farmers is emerging progressively. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
