Abstract: KhetKart will present a mobile application designed to connect farmers and buyers on a single digital platform. The application will enable farmers to list the crops, weeds, and e- waste they will have available, allowing buyers to browse and pur- chase items according to their needs. A built-in bidding system will let buyers place competitive offers on products, enhancing price transparency and negotiation. Additionally, the app will incorporate a geolocation feature that will display all buyers and sellers within a 50 km radius, promoting efficient and localized trade. By streamlining agricultural and e-waste exchange, the application will aim to reduce the role of intermediaries, support sustainable practices, and empower both farmers and buyers through direct, real-time interactions. Agricultural markets in India will continue to face challenges of price fluctuations, lack of transparency, and limited access to reliable information. Farmers and consumers will frequently depend on intermediaries for market prices, which will create inefficiencies and reduce profitability. To address this gap, we will develop Khet Kart, a mobile-based application that will provide a daily commodity price dashboard for local markets. The application will collect and organize real-time data of essential agricultural commodities and present it in an intuitive dashboard. By enabling farmers, traders, and consumers to make informed decisions, Khet Kart will ensure transparency, support fair pricing, and minimize exploitation by intermediaries. The system will not only benefit stakeholders at the grassroots level but will also contribute to strengthening the rural economy by integrating digital with agriculture.
