This study seeks to explore through scientometrics analysis the relevance of cyber extension in agriculture as a communication tool to improve the skills and effectiveness of farmers. The approach utilized the database provided by Scopus to collect and examine related articles published between 1994 and 2023. Scientometric analysis was conducted using RStudio, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software to uncover trends, patterns, and relationships among articles and authors in the domain of cyber extension and capacity building of farmers. The findings show that new technologies in agriculture, including agricultural robots, precision farming, and the Internet of Things, are increasingly recognized for their sustainability and influence on climate change. Innovative technologies such as deep learning and artificial intelligence are believed to improve decision-making processes especially in agriculture. The integration of cyber-enhancement in agricultural communications aims to improve farmers' knowledge and understanding, foster innovation, and advance sustainable agricultural practices. The results show that advancing cyber technology enhancement is essential to improve communication between farmers and stakeholders especially the government, which in turn can improve the overall capacity and performance of farmers. This study provides significant insights for academics, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and observers in agriculture seeking to design successful cyber-enhancement measures to assist agriculture and raise farmers' welfare. The future of research on the application of cyber technology in agriculture presents intriguing and significant opportunities, particularly for sustainable and ecologically friendly practices. This method can enhance agricultural output while reducing adverse effects on the environment and human health. A significant problem is educating and training farmers in the utilisation of cyber technology. Future research will concentrate on efficient training methods and digital extension, facilitating the adoption of new technology by farmers, particularly in underdeveloped rural regions.
