Currently a farmer goes to a nearby market and offers his/her product to a specific agent who instructs the farmer to visit the market after a certain period of time to collect the proceeds from the sale. The agent sells the product to another agent or seller at a market price. Every agent is trying to cut his commission on this. So, there is no way for a farmer to know this payment and for the exact price of its product.
There is no facility for farmers to connect their consumers directly to markets where they can sell their products for maximum profit.
So to overcome this problem, we developed a web application for farmers. The primary purpose of the proposed Website is intended to provide an online platform that will help farmers from Indian cities sell their products directly to
customers without the help of intermediaries or agents. It is a computerized system for better and clearer sales.
It helps farmers to enlist their products and communicate directly with interested consumers. It helps the farmers to actually earn a profit and even discuss its crop reviews for further improvements. In this system, a farmer who is supposed to sell his/her product will login/sign up on the farmer's dashboard and then he/she will upload some images of the product(which they want to sell) and also they will list the price and can also add the information of available stock.
Now for a consumer , there is a separate dashboard he/she will sign up there and can connect to the farmer directly by providing his details and then the farmer will contact the consumer to sell his product directly to the consumer.
We have designed the prototype and for any problem we faced while making that we took the help from YouTube videos and Google. We're pretty sure that our system will work smoothly and will definitely adds a value.
