Farmers in India realize only about 8-10% of their final harvest, compared to upwards of 30% in developed markets. This depreciation is due to complexities in the conventional supply chain. For an e-commerce platform of agricultural products buyers are having only reviews as the base for buying a product which is not effective in case of agricultural products.
We made FruitFul, a MERN-based full-stack web application which acts as a platform that connects farmers, traders, and common people. In addition to this, we are introducing a completely new dimension(Organic Quality Sensing) for the buyers online to see how good the product is.
This application is not a biased solution to a particular problem in agro tech. This is made to solve most of the problems which can be solved in one go. So that farmers can find this helpful because they can do many things in one app like they can see the market status, and sell their products and even IOT is embedded in it is making this an all-rounder solution for many of the problems that are faced by many people right now in agro tech.
