Agrikart

A Platform for Farmers and which can actually be accessed by them when needed.

The problem Agrikart solves

Our Project comes under Open Innovation Theme and basically it's under Agricultural Domain. As we all know that in India Agriculture is the backbone and Farmers should be benefited but there is alot of problems like they are still dependent on Local Mandis to sell there crop, or middlemen are earning more profit and many more problems.
So,We came up with an Idea to create a Platform which solves all the existing problems but we know that there are existing platforms so what's new in ours. Even if there are some existing portals, Most of the farmers can’t access those or are unaware of such facility.
Our Platform which is for three users-

  1. Farmers are the main users of this type of portals and in India as we all know most of the farmers can't access the portals due to unavailability of Internet Access or Smartphones or Network or they don't have that amount of knowledge to access a website or application. Our platform solves that problem, farmers can directly update their product details on our platform by just sending a SMS. Along with this the Group of Farmers who can access the website they can directly update it there.
  2. The second users of our platform will be Buyers/Traders as they can directly access our platform and just in one click their information will be sent to the Farmer via SMS in which they are interested, and the farmer can directly contact to Buyer and vice-versa with the help of our Platform which acts as a Middleman.
  3. The third user will be Transporters which play a major role. In our platform the Transporters can put their details and the Buyers can reach them anytime when in need.
    Basically Farmers will have direct access to the Portal through SMS if they don’t have Internet Facility. We solve the major problem of today’s time because we know that if one can’t access a platform which is made for them than the Platform is of no use.
    Along with this, MSP of all the products will be notified to the farmers through SMS at proper intervals.

Challenges we ran into

We also wanted to create an Application for smart phones and an Application for featured phones which will be Offline Operated Applications in Future.

Along with this we have also thought for our business model we will be charging some amount to Traders and Transporters and we will also be implementing Payment gateway in future.
