Also, the developments in agricultural production in world history allow to access to the times for focusing on technological developments. Correctly implemented and integrated technological advancement into business processes of agricultural production help agricultural producers to sustain their agricultural activities, especially in rural areas which are disadvantaged areas globally to reach the technological benefits. In light of the product management fundamentals and technological advancement in agriculture, web and mobile applications provide opportunities to farmers by offering to access the information, reaching the market and contacting consumers. This study aims to provide an evaluation of the potential contributions of web and mobile applications to rural development on the basis of product management fundamentals in the case of the GAP Region in Turkey.
