Abstract— The project entitled “App to connect farmers
with FPI and retail” has been developed for providing
assistance to farmers to distribute good price between
farmers and retailers. The app is also developed to provide
tips for storing excessive production. Agriculture is the
backbone of Indian economy. The users in India are using
new technology pesticides and fertilizers but using old style
of farming techniques. The existing system actually gives
adverse results like poor harvest, polluted farming land etc.,
the most cause for this is often lack of awareness about the
new farming techniques and precautions need to be taken.
The proposed app helps the users by providing fast yielding
techniques and information about agriculture. If any Users
need some suggestions and help they may send the query.
These queries will be solved and solutions will be posted.
The app will provide information about cropping periods
etc. with the interactive solutions. For easy understanding,
communication forum will be added to the application, so
that users will find it useful. The system will be designed in
such a way that it will contain modules for managing crops
and for providing information about natural fertilizers.
Especially the alert feature are going to be added within the
proposed system. When a user posts a query, system will
reply through mail.
Keywords— e-agriculture, mobile application, smart
farm.
INTRODUCTION
This Agriculture is that the primary occupation of the larger
a part of Indian population. 65-70 you look after Indian
population is being depends on agriculture for his or her
living. Today farmers are receiving diverse facts or
information about faming like seeds, crop selection, crop
processes weather, fertilizer, pesticides etc. New
opportunities are shaped by smart phone technology for
farmers. Farmers are capable with a coffee cost smart
phone and therefore the particular software to realize
facilities which couldn‘t available on their hands before.
Farmers often struggle for basic information like weather
updates, crop prices, crops information and expert advice,
ending up soften relying on hear says. The overwhelming
majority of Indian farmers, which incorporates small-scale
producers are often unable to access the knowledge and
technological resources that would increase the yield and
cause better prices for their crops and products.
EXISTING SYSTEM
Agriculture may be a way of life, a practice, which, for
hundreds of years, has shaped the thought, the outlook, the
culture and economic lifetime of the people of India. The
advent of recent technologies at the start of the last century
has brought in development of varied technologies, which
has substantially increased the yields of varied crops. The
system is readily accepted that increased information flow
has a positive effect on the agricultural sector and
individual firms. However, collecting and disseminating
information is usually difficult and dear.
DISADVANTAGES
In the existing system farmers faced lots of problem faced
through climate change, flood, heavy rain etc.. Mandis
charge higher prices from retailers and FPI. Farmers are
paid low prices by Mandis. There is no communication
between the farmers and food corporation/ Agricultural
officers. The users in India are using new technology
pesticides and fertilizers but using old style of farming
techniques.
PROPOSED SYSTEM:
App to connect farmers directly with food processing
industry and retailed (Ministry of Food Corporation) is
playing an important and vital role in agricultural
production and marketing. The system allows farmers to
save time on order and delivery and getting feedback.
ADVANTAGES
The development of new system contains the following
activities, which try to automate the entire process keeping
in the view of database integration approach. Farmers’
(Users) crop database must be managed. The database
includes the sorts of crops, the dimensions of cultivated
area, time of harvest and yield. Through the app, farmers
can directly communicate with the food corporation/
Agricultural officers. The app will provide tips for yielding,
weather alert, food storage information, trading cost
information etc.
MODULE DESCRIPTION
User Registration Module
The system has a process of registration. Every Agricultural
user need to submit the complete details in the form of
registration. Whenever a user registration completed
administrator need to approve the registration. Then only
user can get log in into the system by using their user id and
password.
Administrator Module
Admin should also have rights to accept the registration of
the users based on their profile (unless users should
not able to login to the site). Similarly admin should

also have rights to accept the registration of farmer’s
registration also. Admin manages the entire app.
Government Loan Details Module
Nationalization of banks was a serious step for channelizing
credit to varied sectors of economy of which agriculture
may be a major sector. A dynamic and growing agricultural
sector needs adequate finance through banks to accelerate
the general growth.
Insurance Details Module
Crop insurance is purchased by agricultural producers;
including farmers, ranchers, and other protect themselves
against either the loss of the crop thanks to natural
disasters, like hail, drought, and floods, or the loss of
revenue thanks to declines within the prices of agricultural
commodities. The application contains the following
insurance Information.
News Module
News can be published like government loan details, crop
details and insurance details etc. Information about major
crop markets (mandi) and their current price for crop
should be published daily through this module.
Query Module
Only authenticated users can access this module. After login
users can post their queries through this module. While
posting query, query ID will be generated which can be
used for their future reference.
Reply Module
The users are authenticated to the app can login and
provide replies to the queries by providing the credentials
which they got at the time of registration. Users can provide
the solution to the Queries given by the Farmers and users
who are interested in agriculture.
CONCLUSION
Today mobile devices are used frequently by everyone,
including the farmers and countryside people. The
traditional methods used by the farmers, peculiarly in India,
are very slow and undependable. The large amount of crop
is getting damage in the field due to the bacterial attacks
and lack of information resources. This will effectively help
farmers to sell their product in global market and earn
remarkable profit.
