Description

  The present invention relates to a crop sales management system for fully managed cultivation using the Internet.

  In recent years, due to scandals in the food industry, there has been an increasing interest in the food industry, and more accurate information provision and more reliable and safe quality have been demanded.

  Therefore, in recent years, there is a tendency to demand foods directly connected to producers without any middlemen.

  By using the Internet, buyers can easily search and purchase crops of producers not only in the vicinity but also in the whole country. Producers have established virtual shops on the Internet. The competition between producers is also intensifying, such as selling agricultural products.

  However, in such a virtual store, the product information at the shipping stage is displayed, but the purchaser cannot confirm the information in the middle of the training in advance, and makes an appropriate transaction according to the information in the middle of the training. I couldn't.

  Therefore, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-325511, not only information on the shipping stage of crops and the like, but also information on the way of growing can be obtained, and the quality of the crops can be accurately grasped in advance. A cultivated product transaction system and method have been disclosed that allow a purchase plan to be made and further allows transactions to proceed before shipment.

  The release of information in the middle of the development before shipping can be done simply for the remote purchaser because it is possible to decide whether to trade after carefully observing and considering the product from the development stage without going to the site. It is possible to make more accurate judgment than judging by looking at the products.

  It is also very advantageous for producers because they can sign sales contracts properly from the development stage.

  In addition, the sale of agricultural products so far has to be purchased at a price that is uncertain due to the fact that the market price fluctuates depending on the amount of harvest, and that producers cannot obtain sufficient profits and the complexity of the distribution system. There was no way for producers and buyers to trade with each other with quality and price that could satisfy not only limited products but also many products.

  Therefore, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-243556, shippers and purchasers of commodities related to agriculture can perform product production, processing and purchase in a planned manner, and can be satisfied with the price. An agricultural product management system is disclosed.

  This is an easy-to-access network called the Internet, which compares and discriminates various conditions related to transactions that producers and buyers have presented to each other, supports products with intense price movements, and trades under more optimal conditions. Can be established.

  In recent years, organic agricultural products have attracted attention, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has provided “Display Guidelines for Organic Agricultural Products and Specially Cultivated Agricultural Products”. This stipulates labeling methods for crops that do not use pesticides and chemical fertilizers, reduced pesticides, and reduced chemical fertilizers. These labels try to make it possible for consumers to purchase organic produce with peace of mind. Is.

  However, according to the above display guidelines, it is necessary to perform appropriate management, such as making an appropriate display, appointing a person in charge of cultivation and a person in charge of confirmation, creating a cultivation plan, cultivation management record, shipping record, step-by-step check, Small-scale agricultural producers have difficulty in adapting, and in the cultivation method, they often want to appeal with their own organic cultivation methods, and there is an aspect that is difficult to adapt with a uniform display method. .

In such a case, apart from the above guideline display, self-appeal can be made, and it is required to provide the information that consumers want, “the producer can see and the producer's cultivation status can be seen”. .
JP 2001-325511 A JP 2001-243556 A Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries “Display Guidelines for Organic and Specially Cultivated Agricultural Products”

  Conventionally, various sales systems using the Internet such as the above publication have been filed, but have the following problems.

  For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-243556, various conditions relating to transactions presented by producers and purchasers are compared and determined, and transactions corresponding to products with intense price movements are made possible. The shipping information notified by the producer is information to be shipped to the last and is uncertain.

  Therefore, even when a sales contract is concluded before shipment, the shipment may not be performed according to the contents of the contract after the contract due to poor breeding or the like.

  Therefore, a change in shipping information can naturally occur, and a change in shipping information after a sales contract has been concluded may not be a problem if it is a minor change, but significant shipping information. If this change is made, the credibility of the transaction may be significantly impaired.

  Therefore, in the above publication, by reporting the growth status of products for which a sales contract has been established, it is possible to determine at any time whether or not the shipment will be carried out as contracted, so that the shortage of shipping can be determined as early as possible. Therefore, if the shipment amount is insufficient for the contract contents, a stable supply of products can be carried out by redirecting from similar products of other producers or by reducing the planned shipment amount notified in advance by the producer. Ingenuity is given.

  However, even if such ingenuity is applied, it is important for buyers to be able to purchase high-quality and safe products easily and with peace of mind. It is hard to say that a stable transaction will be made if the shortage is procured from others and immediately made available immediately after the transaction is made.

  Also, as a producer, if the scheduled shipping quantity to be notified is reduced, the surplus production is wasted and does not protect the producer's profit.

  For this reason, the producer cannot notify the shipping information until a certain amount of shipment and the scheduled shipping date can be specified, and cannot establish a sales contract before shipping.

  In this case, it is hard to say that both the producer and the purchaser can stably trade the product.

  In addition, producers usually produce and ship crops that are likely to sell and forecast when they are likely to sell, but if this is not expected and the crops remain unsold, the producer will have a large deficit. Become.

  Also, the input information by the product purchase schedule notification means is the type of product, the production location, the purchase price, and the purchase amount by purchase time, and cannot be specified up to the producer.

  The quality of crops varies greatly from producer to producer as well as from production location.

  The recent scandals in the food industry are not limited to specific companies and industries, but the current situation is that behaviors that doubt morals, such as the misrepresentation of production areas, are practiced. To the extent that the product is judged only by the production area, the purchaser is not enough to purchase a product of safe quality with peace of mind.

  Moreover, in the said Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2001-325511, a purchaser can make an appropriate purchase plan and advance a transaction before shipment by grasping | ascertaining a quality accurately beforehand from the cultivation state information in the middle of a cultivation. Although it is possible, as in the above publication, the growth status information at the middle stage of the growth merely indicates information on the progress of the process. It is quite possible that the shipping time will greatly vary.

  In addition, as in the above publication, the purchaser cannot specify the producer and can only select the production area.

  In addition, the training status information presented to the purchaser includes the history of the training status in the training process and different levels of training status, all of which are information obtained from the current training product, It is difficult to judge whether the development status of the product is good. For example, comparing the past information with the current information, for example, comparing the past information with the information of the same type of product in the past, the analysis of the current product I don't even think about doing an evaluation.

  Then, this invention is made | formed in view of the said subject, The objective is to make it possible to provide reliably the agricultural product which the purchaser ordered, and it grows by the complete management cultivation which makes a production plan The producers receive orders for various purchase conditions such as the amount desired by the purchaser and the desired date, and produce crops in response to the orders, and respond to orders from buyers. Production planning is possible, shipping time can be specified completely on a daily basis, and orders can be delivered reliably, so there is no surplus production due to surplus production and stable production and supply without waste A farm sales system that allows consumers to purchase agricultural products with peace of mind, knowing the producer, and knowing the usage of fertilizers, pesticides, etc. It is to provide.

  The present invention makes it possible to produce a stable crop with uniform quality from sowing to harvest without depending on the weather by using fully managed cultivation such as Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-216554, and shipping plan Agricultural crops are produced and sold through fully managed cultivation based on the above.

  With recent advances in cultivation technology, cultivation methods that are not affected by external factors such as weather and climate have been established, such as hydroponics and house cultivation. The difference is that the shipping time can be reliably specified on a daily basis.

  Usually, the shipment date of a crop means the date when the crop is brought from each farmer who is a producer to the collection point, and the planned shipment date shown before the collection is a rough estimate of the shipment date by the producer himself. It is normal to say the indicated date, and the actual shipping date is often significantly different from the scheduled shipping date.

  However, fully managed cultivation based on the shipping plan using the above publication grows uniformly, and there is no disease, poor growth, continuous cropping failure, etc., so all the sown crops can be reliably harvested, and as planned Since it grows, the shipping amount and shipping date can be accurately specified at the time of sowing.

  Vegetables with a short cycle from sowing to harvest can be cultivated many times throughout the year, so they can be shipped all year round, but this depends on external factors such as weather and climate. If the shipping date can be specified on a daily basis, and continuous cropping is possible and the same type of crop can be produced several times a year, production can be performed in the same way as products manufactured at a general factory. Agricultural crops can be reliably produced based on the plan.

  Therefore, the present invention overturns the concept of the conventional crop production method, and in particular, has devised a sales system that enables custom-made production of crops, which was impossible to realize with the prior art, before shipping. Therefore, it is possible to conclude a sales contract on the premise of certain performance and realize stable transactions.

  The present invention can solve the above-described problems by the following means.

  Claim 1 is for displaying product image data serving as a product sample indicating the shipment state of the crop and production plan data representing from the seeding date to the shipment date of the crop in a crop sales system using an Internet homepage. And a sales order system for receiving an order for each displayed product.

  The product image data is an image of crops that can be shipped and serves as a product sample, and may be either a still image or a moving image.

  The product image data may be an image obtained by photographing only the product, or may be an image obtained by arranging a normal product and a product produced independently so that a difference and a characteristic by the producer can be understood.

  Product differentiation and competition among producers will be achieved, making it easier for buyers to select specific products from a large number of products.

  At that time, if the image of the producer's face photograph can be viewed at the same time, the purchaser can purchase the product with peace of mind.

  As the product image data, it is preferable to use a recent image among images of crops produced at the shipping stage produced in the past.

  Continuing to use old images in the past will damage the credibility of the product.

  The purchaser can view the product image data at any time on the Internet homepage.

  The production plan data is a table showing the sowing date and the shipping date calculated from the sowing date for each crop to be produced, and can be viewed on a homepage on the Internet.

  Agricultural crops produced by fully managed cultivation can be shipped reliably on the shipping date calculated from the sowing date, and as with products manufactured in general factories, the crops can be reliably secured based on the production plan. Since it can produce, production plan data can be created about all the agricultural products to produce.

  However, crops vary in the number of breeding days from the sowing date to the shipping date, and the ratio of the harvest to the sowing amount, depending on the type and season of sowing.

  Therefore, by collecting in advance information such as how much the number of growing days and the proportion of harvesting changes depending on the type of crop, season of seeding, etc., just enter the type of crop, seeding date, seeding amount, It is good to create a program that automatically calculates the shipping date and the shipping amount.

  The producer simply inputs the crop type, seeding date, and sowing amount, and the shipping date and the shipping amount are automatically calculated, and accurate production plan data is automatically created.

  With the ability to create accurate production plan data, producers can produce according to production plan data, and buyers can conclude stable sales contracts by trusting the shipment date and quantity of production plan data. .

  The display means enables product image data and production plan data placed on a server to be viewed on an Internet homepage.

  The product image data may be displayed together with the production plan data and simultaneously displayed on the same screen, or the production plan data may be displayed as the detailed content of the product image data.

  The purchaser first selects the desired product from the product list displayed together with the product image data, and determines whether or not to purchase the product after viewing the shipping date, shipment volume, etc. from the production plan data of the selected product. To do.

  Production plan data is updated in real time,

  Since information can be exchanged in real time with each other from the producer terminal and the purchaser terminal, a transaction with quick response is possible.

  In the order receiving means, the purchaser browses the product image data and production plan data of the crop on the Internet homepage, and regarding the product desired to be purchased, the type of crop, the place of production, the producer, the desired purchase date, the desired purchase amount. A purchase application is made by inputting, and a purchase application is notified to the producer, and an order is accepted.

  Until now, the sales method has been limited to designating the production area, and there is nothing that can be designated by the producer.

  The quality of crops varies greatly depending on the producer as well as the production area. To the extent that the product is judged only by the production area, the purchaser cannot purchase a product of safe quality with peace of mind. Appropriate quality judgment should be made at the producer level.

  Therefore, by allowing the purchaser to select the producer directly when purchasing the product, the purchaser directly monitors and evaluates the producer.

  For the producer, since the sales contract directly leads to evaluation by being directly selected by the purchaser, it is impossible to perform fraud such as quality misrecognition and false display.

  In addition, if the efforts and achievements of individual producers are properly evaluated, motivation will be aroused and the producers will be stimulated, resulting in a recovery of the industry's credit.

  For ordering products, the purchaser browses the product image data and production plan data of the crop on the Internet homepage, and inputs the purchase conditions of the crop type, production location, producer, delivery date, and quantity for the desired product. The purchase application is made, and the order is completed when the producer is notified of the purchase application.

  A second aspect of the present invention is the crop sales system according to the first aspect, wherein the display means of the first aspect is provided with a display means of production status image data indicating the production status of the displayed product. is there.

  The production status image data is an image of the production status of agricultural products from sowing to shipping, and may be either a still image or a moving image.

  Being able to view the crops being produced as an image is a valuable judgment for purchasers because they can observe the product without going to the production area and can observe the crops at the growing stage. Since it is possible to decide whether or not to conduct a transaction after careful examination, it is possible to make a more accurate judgment than simply judging by looking at products at the shipping stage.

  Therefore, the production status image may include an entire image showing the entire production location and an enlarged image showing a part of the production location so that the production status can be sufficiently determined.

  Furthermore, when not only an image of the appearance of crops but also the growth information indicating the product diameter, weight, etc., the sugar content of the product, etc., the growth state can be determined by numbers.

  However, for those who are seeing the product for the first time, or those who have only seen the product at the time of shipment, the product grows well even if they look at the image at the development stage and the charts and graphs of the cultivation information. Sometimes you don't know what you're doing.

  Therefore, the production status image data is not only the image of the currently produced product and the cultivation information, but also the production status image data of the same type of crop produced in the past is made into a database and can be browsed freely on the server By doing so, it is possible to compare the growth status, the difference in quality, and the like between the past production status image and the current production status image.

  For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-325511, as the growth state information indicating the growth information like the production state image data, “history of growth states at different stages are collected from images and products being grown. The data is presented as a graph.

  In addition, “Growth status information may be information acquired from the same type of cultivated product in the same region. However, the cultivated status information is acquired from a product cultivated at the same time. It can be used as the same information obtained from the actual cultivated product. ”

  Certainly, it is possible to obtain the same information as the information obtained from the actual product as long as the information is obtained from the same type of product grown in the same region at the same time.

  However, viewing the production status image data in the present invention is not limited to simply checking whether the product currently being cultivated is growing smoothly, and the viewed product is the same type of product in the past. In order to clarify how well this breeding condition is, or how much the quality is different compared to the same type of products produced by other producers. And the comparison object is different.

  In order to display such a quality difference clearly and clearly, past production status images and all past production status image data may be displayed in a list corresponding to the current production status image. It may be displayed so that it can be compared with a specific breeding time.

  Further, by making it easy to compare with the same type of products produced by other producers, the purchaser's selection range is further increased.

  In this way, the production status images in the database are not only effective when the purchaser selects the product, but also for the producer, not only their own production status image data but also other productions. By comparing and analyzing the production status image data of a person, it can be effectively used as data for future cultivation improvement.

  The display means enables browsing and searching for a production status image in a database placed on a server on an Internet homepage.

  Since information can be exchanged in real time with each other from the producer terminal and the purchaser terminal, a transaction with quick response is possible.

  Claim 3 is provided with order production plan creation means for creating / modifying production plan data corresponding to received order information by the order reception means according to claim 1. Item 3. The crop sales system according to Item 2.

  The order information is the type of crop, the place of production, the producer, the delivery date, and the quantity that the purchaser inputs about the product he / she wishes to purchase on the Internet homepage, and the order information is notified to the producer. The order is accepted.

  The order production plan creation means creates production plan data according to received order information. For example, production plan data is automatically created by a program programmed to automatically create production plan data in advance. It may be something that is corrected.

  Since the agricultural products that have already been produced are shipped and harvested according to the production plan data created, the shipping date and the shipping amount displayed in the production plan data cannot be changed.

  The purchaser can order the crop as long as the desired crop is displayed in the production plan data.

  However, since the producer waits for an order from the purchaser for the crop that has not been produced, the production plan data is created based on the order information.

  In order to create production plan data, information such as the number of growing days from the sowing date to the shipping date, how much the yield ratio changes with the sowing amount, depending on the type of crop and the sowing season, Collect in advance.

  As a result, when ordering, it is possible to determine the exact sowing date from the desired purchase date in consideration of the number of growing days, and the correct sowing from the desired purchase amount in consideration of the ratio of the harvest amount to the sowing amount. The amount can be determined.

  In this way, whenever an order is received, it is possible to clearly present the exact shipment date and quantity to the purchaser and to create accurate production plan data. Instead of automatically creating and correcting the place to be built, it can be expected to reduce the burden on the producer and to create a production plan without waste.

  Furthermore, since accurate production plan data can be created, the purchaser can conclude a sales contract with peace of mind both in the growing stage before shipment and before the start of production before sowing.

  Claim 4 is installed in a field where crops are cultivated, and observation means for periodically obtaining crop production status image data and growth environment measurement data; observation data transmission means for transmitting observed data; An observation data receiving means for receiving transmitted observation data, an observation database for recording and storing the received observation data, a data search means for outputting necessary data from the database, and a search The agricultural product sales system according to any one of claims 1 to 3, further comprising display means for displaying observation data on a homepage.

  The above-mentioned growth environment measurement data is data obtained by measuring various conditions of the environment in which the product crops are grown. The ambient air environment that directly affects the crops such as temperature and humidity, etc. The soil environment, for example, soil temperature, water content, pH, etc., and data relating to sunshine, such as illuminance and sunshine duration.

  Growing environment measurement data is important for producers to manage crops, and by managing the measured data with a computer, it is possible to maintain an environment suitable for growing crops, and high quality products. Can be produced.

  In addition, the measured data is not only managed by the producer, but can also be viewed by the buyer. You will be able to purchase products with the heart.

  The observation means is means for periodically observing and aggregating the production status image data of the crops and the growing environment measurement data in the field, and is observed by a camera or various sensors installed on the field.

  As a result, the producer does not need to go to the field many times for data collection and management, and data can be collected and managed accurately and efficiently.

  The observation data transmission means is means for transmitting the production status image data and the growing environment measurement data recorded and aggregated by the observation means via a wired or wireless Internet line, and is regularly observed. By sending each data instantly, information can be seen in real time, which is very effective for field management.

  The observation data receiving means is means for receiving the production status image data and the growing environment measurement data transmitted by the observation data transmitting means through an Internet line such as a wired or wireless line.

  The observation database records and accumulates the production status image data and the growth environment measurement data received by the observation data receiving means, and holds the data in a state where it can be output at any time in response to a browsing request from the user terminal. Is.

  The data search means can search the data stored in the database on a homepage on the Internet. The search means is not only for searching and browsing data, but also for the observation database. Analyzing means for analyzing the data stored in the memory may be provided.

  Even if the same crop is produced, the characteristics of each crop are analyzed, so the characteristics are analyzed. For example, the characteristics of tomatoes such as differences in color, size, and taste can be sold. May be improved according to the purchaser's preferences.

  In addition, the purchaser can select the farm product that suits his / her preference because the difference between the producers even in the same crop can be understood from the analysis result.

  The display means displays each observation data stored in the observation database on an Internet homepage in response to a browsing request from a user terminal.

  Claim 5 is an organic cultivation implementation table in which producer data, fertilizer data, and agricultural chemical data are obtained together with the observation data, accumulated in the observation database, and the history of organic cultivation of the producer and the crop can be confirmed. 5. The agricultural product sales management system according to claim 4, wherein the crop database is retrieved from the observation database, outputted, and displayed on a homepage.

  The producer data is personal information of the producer, such as name, address, face photo, appeal information, etc., and is data that the buyer can know about the producer. It is easy to judge from the above, and by making the face photo public, the producer can appeal that he sells the product with confidence, resulting in increased trust.

  The fertilizer data and pesticide data are information on the use status of the fertilizers and pesticides used in the cultivation of the crop, including fertilization to the field, sowing, timing, type, quantity, etc. It is information such as its purpose.

  The organic cultivation implementation table is capable of confirming the history of organic cultivation of producers and crops, and is summarized in a list based on the producer data and fertilizer / pesticidal data. Basic information on crops such as varieties and characteristics, personal information such as producer's name, address, and photos, cultivation field information, planting information, organic cultivation history information, and the like are posted.

  The organic cultivation history information describes the state of use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the fertilizer information includes the name of the fertilizer, the time of use, the quantity, the purpose of use, and the like. The pesticide information includes the name of the pesticide (material name), the time of use, the quantity, the purpose of use, and the like.

  In this way, by publishing the organic cultivation implementation table, it is possible to clearly indicate not only that the agricultural crop is organically grown but also what kind of organic cultivation is produced and produced. Therefore, the reliability of the crops can be greatly increased, and the purchaser can judge the status of organic cultivation by himself, so that the safety can be improved and the purchase can be made with confidence. It's not just organic farming labeling, but quality assurance for organic farming, whose history can be fully disclosed.

  The present invention has the following effects.

  1) By using fully managed cultivation, all crops grow uniformly, regardless of the weather, and all the sown crops can be reliably harvested and produced without causing disease, poor growth, continuous cropping, etc. Since it grows as planned, it is possible to accurately identify the shipping amount and shipping date at the time of sowing, especially the shipping date can be specified on a daily basis, and continuous cropping is possible, producing the same kind of crops several times a year As with products manufactured at general factories, it is possible to reliably produce crops based on production plans, and to make a custom order of crops using the Internet homepage. It is possible to conclude a sales contract based on the assumption that stable transactions can be realized.

  2) The product quality can be viewed in real time on the Internet homepage with images and growth information not only at the stage of shipping the product, but also at the growth stage after the sowing date, so that the quality of the product can be accurately grasped, especially at a distant purchase. For those who do not go to the site, after observing the product thoroughly and determining the quality, it is possible to decide whether to conduct the transaction, so it is possible to make a more accurate judgment than simply looking at the product at the shipping stage .

  In addition, it is possible to compare and analyze production status image data of products of the same type produced in the past and production status image data of products of the same type produced by other producers. How much the quality differs depending on the type of product or production time, etc. is displayed from the analysis results, and how well the product you want to purchase is in good condition, or other producers are producing The difference in quality compared to the same type of product is clearly and clearly displayed so that the purchaser is effective in selecting the product as well as the producer. It is possible to compare and analyze not only the data of the products produced by itself but also the data of products produced by other producers, so that it can be used effectively for future cultivation improvements.

  3) Based on the received order information, the production plan data is automatically created and changed in consideration of differences in the number of days of cultivation and the amount of harvest due to the climate, etc. It can reduce the burden of planning, avoid troubles due to changes in transaction conditions after the transaction is concluded, and expect smooth and flexible responses.

  4) The production status image data and the growth environment measurement data that are regularly observed can be browsed, searched, analyzed, etc. in real time on the Internet homepage. By checking the quality of the product, etc., it is possible to make a finer quality judgment, and for the producers, maintaining a suitable environment for growing crops by managing regularly observed data with a computer Can easily produce high-quality products.

  In addition, by being able to display organic cultivation history information, it is possible to clearly disclose what kind of organic cultivation is being performed, greatly improve reliability, and the purchaser can easily grasp the state of organic cultivation. Yes, you can buy with confidence.

  The present invention makes it possible to produce a stable crop with uniform quality from sowing to harvest without depending on the weather by using fully managed cultivation such as Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-216554, and shipping plan Realizes a sales system that enables custom-made production of crops based on production plans, as well as products manufactured in general factories, through fully managed cultivation that enables accurate identification of shipment date and shipment volume based on It is something to be made.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a sales system according to the present embodiment.

This system is mainly configured by a commodity transaction server 3, a commodity transaction database 6, and an observation database 7, and is used by a producer terminal 1 and a purchaser terminal 2 connected via the Internet.
The commodity transaction database 6 includes commodity image data 12, production plan data 13, producer data 14, and organic cultivation execution data 15.

  The product image data 12 is image data or the like indicating a product to be traded as a product sample, and may be an appearance of a single product, an image of a cross section, or an image in which the inner fruit can be seen by peeling off the outer skin.

  Moreover, the image etc. which were image | photographed not with a single item but with a plurality as a set may be used.

  The production plan data 13 is data indicating a work schedule from seeding to harvesting of each crop, clearly showing when each crop is sown and harvested. Or a graph.

  It is preferable that the production plan data 13 is planned and listed for each type of crop or for each growing bed.

  Since the product image data 12 is data used as a product sample, only new data is always held. However, the production plan data 13 also accumulates past data so that it can be used as production result data.

  Both the product image data 12 and the production plan data can be changed by the producer at any time, such as updating and deleting.

  The producer data 14 is personal information of the producer, and includes personal data such as name, age, and address, and image data such as a face photograph and a field photograph.

  The organic cultivation implementation data 15 is detailed information on the used fertilizers and pesticides, and is data collected for each crop based on the fertilizer data 10 and the pesticide data 11 in the observation database 7.

  The observation database 7 has production status image data 8, growth environment measurement data 9, fertilizer data 10, and pesticide data 11.

  The production status image data 8 is data for confirming how an agricultural product as a product is actually grown in the field, and is image data obtained by photographing the growing status of the crop with a camera or the like.

  The production status image data 8 may be a still image or a moving image, but is taken as image data so as to understand a product development process.

  In addition, it is preferable to include an entire image showing the entire product development place and an enlarged image showing one of the products (representative) so that the production status can be sufficiently determined.

  Furthermore, it is not limited to images, and may be data indicating the length and width of plants, the date of germination and flowering, the weight of fruits, the length of major axis, sugar content, etc. Or a graph.

  In addition, it is recommended that the production status image data of the same type of crops produced in the past and the production status image data currently produced are displayed so that the difference in growth, quality, etc. can be compared at the same time of the growth process. .

  In addition, when comparing and displaying, not only a comparison of current and past data for the same producer, but also a comparison with current or past products of the same type produced by other producers. It may be displayed so that it can be understood how much the quality differs depending on the location, the producer, the time, or the like.

  The growth environment measurement data 9 is data obtained by measuring various conditions of the environment in which the crop that is the product is grown, and the ambient air environment that directly affects the crop, such as the temperature and humidity, etc. The environment of the soil, for example, soil temperature, water content, pH, etc., and data relating to sunshine, such as illuminance, sunshine duration, etc.

  The growing environment measurement data 9 may be displayed as a numerical table or a graph, and may be displayed for each field where the product is produced, may be displayed for each type of crop, or for each growing bed.
