Abstract

Farmers need transportation system to carry their food grain in time from their farm to mandi or cold storage. Some of them get transportation facility but most of the times not. To address this problem, developer has designed this android mobile application named “Farm2Mandi” which gives a facility to farmers for utilizing the best mode of transportation for movement of their farm produce. Transportation of agri products to Mandi or to any sales or storage destination is important in terms of efficient timing and safety. In worse conditions such as pandemics like Covid and other natural calamities, it becomes difficult to supply food products to their respective markets. But, supply chain of food products is crucial. Therefore, “Farm2Mandi” application helps ensuring smooth and seamless supply linkages between farmers and mandi's, ware houses. This system will help in minimizing transportation time and prices of food products. In this application, three parties are there namely farmer, transporter and administrator. The system comprises of various steps. Initially, farmer has to register on app and then login to search for available transport to his destination. If he finds the transport facility, he can book his ride on that particular date. Once the travel is completed, farmer can provide a rating or feedback for the transport in the app, which is recorded in the database according to time and transaction. Logistic charges can be reimbursed through personal or government organization. Developer would like to discuss, one future practical prospective here, that is, recommendation of best route and transport to be used by the farmer on the basis of previous data stored by user by AI processing.
