ANDROID APP SOLUTION for FARMERS and BUYERS to SELL AND BUY PRODUCTS WITHOUT ANY BROKER INVOLVED.

Abstract

We say farmers are our backbone or the whole world is completely dependent on agriculture, because when there is no agriculture there is no food and harvesting, so farmers are not only backbones of some particular areas but they are the important race in our society. But as this category is lacking education in harvesting and failed in getting information on new techniques of harvesting to get more yields and using the same old method for harvesting, there are many issues increasing in front of them because as a farmer their main source of income is to sell the products they harvest but in the same way if they are unable to get enough earnings from that, then they seek government help and even if government helps them, without much knowledge again they fail to harvest valuable quantity of products and obviously their earnings will go low. The farmers not only facing the issues in the sector of agriculture or crop harvesting but once they harvest again they face same old issue of selling the products to the buyers, here a new kind of people take their part to whom we can identify as mediators, these mediators take most of the earnings of farmers as well as buyers by cheating both and gain more money. This application helps farmers individually to grow better and it also helps to get valid information about how to yield more crops and the condition of soil as well as the type of seeds needs to harvest for the type of land they have, to grow more and get more profit out of it. The farmers can avoid to sell their products on mediators.
