Abstract

Krushi Connect is developed to address the challenges faced by farmers in accessing markets, obtaining fair prices, and receiving timely agricultural guidance. With the increasing dependence on intermediaries and the lack of real-time information, traditional agricultural selling practices have become inefficient and unreliable. The proposed system provides a unified digital platform that enables farmers to directly connect with customers while supporting intelligent decisionmaking through advisory and weather-based services. The system accepts farmer profiles, product details, customer orders, weather data, and transaction information as inputs and processes them through automated modules to ensure smooth marketplace operations. It supports direct product listing, order management, real-time alerts, and secure digital payments. The platform also provides rule-based farming assistance related to crop care, fertilizer usage, and irrigation planning. By using a centralized database and automated workflows, Krushi Connect reduces manual dependency, improves transparency, and enhances operational efficiency. The system is suitable for small-scale farmers as well as large agricultural communities and offers a scalable solution for modern digital agriculture.
