In developing countries, rural information and services are the most important of effective agricultural and development. The "Internet of Things" and electronic networks offer very promising technologies and many services and solutions including the agricultural fields. The application of digital technology is of great importance because it has the ability to provide technologies, innovations and acquired sustainability to the agricultural sector and increase productivity as an alternative and complement to agricultural extension. Mobile application have developed rapidly for enhancing telecommunication, information ,input , development , invention in service transmission and their quality. However, many stakeholders have known the need for digital agriculture. The most countries have already taken a national strategy for the agricultural sector's use of information and communication technologies. These reviews explain the possibility of agricultural digitalization for rural services and development in COVID-19 response plans
