The objective of this study is to identify the application of information and communication technologies in agricultural micro-enterprises of the Chone canton. The most relevant results are: in 42% the micro enterprises are dedicated to livestock, 35% to agriculture, 10% to fishing, 5% to poultry, 5% to swine and 3% to forestry. Information and communication technologies do not apply to these microenterprises in 63%, due to the high investment costs in 52%, in 28% due to the high primary expenses and 20% due to the scarce technological culture. Technification in production is 60%, being 25% in livestock and 20% in agriculture. In marketing if they use information technology by 62%.
