Problem

Farmers in India realize only about 8-10% of their final harvest, compared to upwards of 30% in developed markets. This depreciation is due to complexities in the conventional supply chain which is benefitting many people indirectly other than farmers and even the government is trying to regulate this supply chain using Rythu-Bazaars.

In addition to this, there is no unified IOT platform for the farmers to monitor their farm and plan necessary things in case of any bad weather conditions.

Our solution

We are presenting FruitFul, a MERN-based full-stack web application which acts as a platform that connects farmers, traders, and common people. In addition to this, we also have customized IOT features for registered farmers to help them monitor their farm to increase the yielding by following the best practices.

This application is not a biased solution to a particular problem in agro tech. This is made to solve most of the problems that can be solved in one go. So that farmers can find this helpful because they can do many things in one app like they can see the market status, and sell their products and even IOT is embedded in it making this an all-rounder solution for many of the problems that are faced by many people right now in agro tech.
