Portal for farmers to connect with buyers.

The problem FarmFridge solves

An online portal for farmers to upload their sell and a dynamic ecommerce webapp where buyers can select what they want from the portal. We create a dynamic ecommerce webapp for the buyers. For farmers who are not well acquainted with technology, we create a SMS and whatsapp bot where farmers have to register/login and then they can put their crop details on the whatsapp chat or SMS messages, which will be uploaded to the site where buyers can view. The farmers can connect with the buyers and vice versa using this portal. We store all the data in our database, this data will be used to fuel a data analytics dashboard, where we use ML and data visualization techniques to plot various charts, predict crop prices in the future, forecast trend and various other metrics. We will use this blog as an API to answer our chatbot questions as well as online available agricultural sector APIs related to India with the bot. The seller and buyer can negotiate and select the way of exchange of goods, either through a courier client or if the seller wants to send a truck to collect the goods. We also implement dynamic selection based on location on the webapp.

Challenges I ran into

Integrating all the individual parts, including chatbot, dashboard and whatsapp bot.
