AGRI CONNECT - A Transparent Digital Marketplace for Empowering Farmers and Bridging Agricultural Products

Abstract

Agri Connect is a web-based platform designed to revolutionize the agricultural ecosystem by seamlessly connecting farmers, input sellers, and customers. The platform consists of three core modules: Input Sellers, Farmers, and Customers. The Input Sellers module enables vendors to list essential products such as equipment, fertilizers, and livestock, allowing farmers to connect, negotiate, and purchase directly. The Farmers module provides a Story System for tracking crop-related events and a Ledger System for managing financial transactions, ensuring complete visibility into farming operations. The Customers module facilitates transparent, direct purchasing from farmers, incorporating a Negotiation System to promote fair pricing. AgriConnect enhances the agricultural marketplace with Invoice Management, generating invoices after successful payments and automatically mailing them to users. It supports Stock Management, helping farmers track product availability efficiently. The Expert Connect feature enables farmers to consult agricultural professionals for guidance, while an integrated API Logger tracks platform activity for better system monitoring. Additionally, Razorpay integration ensures seamless and secure payment processing. By promoting transparency, optimizing resource utilization, and empowering farmers with digital tools, AgriConnect aims to create a fair, efficient, and technology-driven agricultural marketplace.
