Despite the fact that farming is the primary occupation in India, most farmers nowadays are from the lower class and live in abject poverty. When it comes to farming, the innovative procedures and automated machinery that are taking the globe to new heights have lagged behind. Either a lack of knowledge about the latest facilities or their unavailability contributes to farming poverty. Even after all their labour and output, farmers are being taken advantage of by agents in today's market, which keeps them in poverty. Agro-marketing would automate everything, making life simpler and providing the greatest answer to every issue. Krishi Market will serve as a way for the farmers to sell their products across the country just with some basic knowledge about how to use the website. The site will guide the farmers in all aspects. It is created for farmers who want to sell fresh products to local shoppers and restaurants. All they have to do is to create their own account and include products they are selling into the inventory tables. This removes the middlemen and makes sure that the profit being earned by the farmers is directly going into their respective pockets. Farmers would be able to access the invoices produced and the associated information in their accounts thanks to the marketing facility. In remote areas without access to the internet, the SMS capability would provide the necessary market information. The government will introduce new programmes for farmers. A special interface will be offered for examining and implementing the website's schemes.
In Conventional Supply Chain as shown in the figure below, Farmers do not sell directly to consumers but to a Middlemen. Middlemen raise prices for consumers while underpaying farmers, leaving farmers poor and unproductive. Farmers encounter high production cost in their effort to boost production but hardly get fair pricing of their produces from middlemen, the bulk farm gate buyers.
How can we eradicate this problem?
Can modern technology help in improving the convention supply chain model for farmers?
Therefore to solve this problem, we the team Binary Developers have decided to come up with a solution of making a web application which will not only reduce the dependency of Farmers on Middlemen but also help them to sell their crops to retailers, wholesalers, consumers at a better price. Not only this but this web app would help them to keep track of all their transactions.
