AGROCONNECT: AI-ENABLED DIRECT FARMER-TO-BUYER AGRICULTURAL TRADING WEB APPLICATION

Abstract

Agro Connect: Development of a Direct Trading Web Application Connecting Farmers and Buyers Using Python Technology is a web-based agricultural trading platform designed to establish a direct connection between farmers and buyers, reducing dependency on intermediaries and improving transparency in agricultural transactions. The system enables farmers to register, upload details of their agricultural products, specify quantities and expected prices, and manage their listings through an easy-to-use interface. Buyers can browse available products, compare prices, view farmer information, and initiate purchase requests directly through the platform. The application uses Python for backend development and business logic, while React.js is used to create a responsive and interactive user interface. The system can maintain product, farmer, buyer, and transaction information through a suitable database. Features such as product search, category-based filtering, price information, user authentication, and transaction management help improve the overall trading experience. The proposed AgroConnect platform aims to promote fair pricing, reduce post-harvest marketing challenges, increase market accessibility for farmers, and provide buyers with a convenient method of sourcing agricultural products directly from producers.
