Abstract:

This paper gives out the mobile application that the farmers can use, which would help them sell their produce at a reasonable price which is not possible due to lack of market access. The source of this problem is the absence of direct communication between the farmers and consumers. This mobile application, which is being developed, ensures that the produce from farmers is sold at fair prices while consumers benefit from the quality products available at reasonable prices. In India, the traditional methods used by farmers are quite time-consuming and sedate. An expert system is put in order to predict the seasonal crops and generate the proper cost of produce that farmers sell also. Farmers can buy or rent the artefacts required for their farming, can predict rain using weather forecasting and can foresee the types of crops to be produced at different seasons. Also application helps in transportation, where farmers can call the drivers and book necessary vehicles by keeping in mind the cost and the amount of produce produced. This app, by providing timely information about cost estimation for different farming tools and grains, ultimately supports farmers in making a wise decision and increasing profitability.
