According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "India has a supply chain that is mangled and pricey. Farmers in rural areas face extreme losses due to a disorganized food supply chain, resulting in 50% of food wastage, also India has the most volatile weather conditions and the dispatch supply chain is inadequate. Urban food shops pay brokers expensive and unfair prices, which results in a 100% rise of the actual food price and a 50% food wastage due to delays. Farmers receive far less profit than the investment. Many farmers struggle to find potential buyers for their agricultural production, dependent on intermediaries who frequently charge high charges and deliver late. In order to address these problems, we have come up with an idea for a smartphone application that makes use of an efficient network and enables farmers to sell high-quality food at a profit without wasting any of it. A user-friendly mobile app for Android and iOS is one of the options offered by this smartphone application.Farmers can register in this program by entering information about themselves and the agricultural products they sell.Areas with a high demand for agricultural products can register and detail their needs,Registering their fleets, as well as their service zones,Farmer listings of their goods include information on their quantity, quality, price, and certifications.Use a matching algorithm to match farmers with appropriate carriers based on geography, product kind, and demand area needs,Transporters place bids on the listed goods, providing prices and delivery estimates,Farmers examine bids and decide which transporter to use based on aspects such as cost and reputation.Orders should be confirmed, including pickup and delivery information.Create a safe payment channel so that farmers and carriers can deal.To increase confidence and raise service standards, allow comments and ratings from growers, transporters, and demand regions.Provide client service over a hotline, email, or live chat."
