Empowering Agriculture: The Promise of Direct Farmer-Buyer Relationships

Abstract

The farming management system proposed in this research aims to revolutionize the agricultural industry by empowering farmers to sell their products directly to buyers through an e-commerce platform, eliminating the need for intermediaries. This platform facilitates a direct connection between farmers and buyers, offering a user-friendly interface for secure and efficient transactions. Farmers can upload product details, set prices and shipping options, while buyers can browse products based on location, category, and keywords, and place orders securely. Once confirmed, orders are fulfilled by the farmers, ensuring a seamless process from purchase to delivery. The Farming Management System (FMS) integrates advanced technologies to streamline agricultural practices, optimize productivity, and promote sustainability. By leveraging data analysis and automation, the FMS enables farmers to make informed decisions, reduce waste, and meet the increasing demand for direct-to-consumer sales. This research highlights the transformative impact of technology in modernizing agriculture, creating a more equitable and sustainable food system, and empowering farmers to thrive in a competitive market.
