Abstract:
In Bangladesh, the increased number of brokers
has resulted in a price increase in the agricultural goods market.
They acquire items from farmers at a discount and resell them to
consumers at a premium. This deprives farmers, while customers
pay an unreasonable price for basic essentials. This study aims to
develop an e-commerce mobile and web application called 'e-
Farmers' Hut' to facilitate direct producer-to-customer
engagement. The application goal to maximize the advantages to
producers and customers by eliminating middlemen's control.
Both applications operate sequentially on the same database.
Farmers and customers each have their profile to which they may
submit the relevant information. Additionally, to optimize
facilities use, also introduced an electronic payment method.
Customers may see lists of available items that verified farmers
have posted. The application has passed the testing process with
expected outcomes. The technology has the ability to considerably
simplify direct sales and purchases of items between farmers and
consumers.
