Forethought

India, primarily being an agricultural country, boasting about 15.4% in exports shows an annual capital income of 50 Billion dollars alone. Predominantly a farming nation since the early days, India is the home to a diverse demographic of farmers having variety of crops and farming techniques.

Although we have been steadily advancing in terms of technology that is used in farming and the support farmers, there remains one aspect that bottlenecks the growth of both the consumer as well as the producer. “The means to reach out”

Forethought

Problem Statement

The Government provides the farmers with various utilities such as schemes, equipment discounts, education on new and advance farming techniques. But it lacks in one department that may be crucial for development of farmers. A way to seamlessly sell and purchase farmers produce without any middleman in between.

Possible Solution

Design a user-friendly digital platform for direct sales of agricultural produce from farmers to the government. The platform aims to ensure fair pricing, streamline sales, and incentivize increased participation. Key features include fair pricing mechanisms, a transparent rewards system, intuitive interfaces for user accessibility, robust security measures, and long term sustainability plans.
