The problem that it solves is as follows:
Farmers need to have a direct relationship with the consumer as it eliminates the middlemen's authority that is provided by the web app that connects them end to end all over India.
Farmers can now get the price they deserve and also it reduces the chances of higher prices of stocks for the consumers as sometimes the middlemen can store the stocks on their side and release them slowly.
Removes the Ill practices of the Mandi System scam
As mentioned above illegal hoarding of the stocks is avoided, and buying at cheap and selling at high practice by middlemen is avoided too.
Also, since we remove the middlemen, the funding that the farmers need to raise can be done by the Farmers Association DAO crowd-funding for farmers using blockchain technology.
Small-scale and middle-scale farmers can now get equal opportunities in the market at fair prices and profits from their goods.
Using the web app we can get all the information regarding the stock and commodities easily.
Blockchain-based traceability to meet your farmer's feature and IPFS decentralized storage to avoid a single point of failure.
Also, we use both centralised and decentralised storage to get the best of both worlds, as the decentralised one provides no single point of failure and on the other hand centralised deals with large data efficiently with fast querying and indexing of data.
The challenges we ran into are as follows:
We had some dependency issues and node conflicts that we resolved later down the road.
We had to choose between various CSS Styling and in the end, we chose Tailwind CSS over MUI.
Implementing the IPFS Upload function took a lot of time since we had to choose Web3Storage over Moralis.
