ELECTRONIC COMMERCE SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS AND THE METHOD THEREOF

The present invention relates to an electronic commerce system and method of agricultural products, and in particular, the agricultural and agricultural products that are managed on the Internet so that the producers and consumers can produce the agricultural products selected by the pre-contract and deliver the agricultural products directly to the consumer after harvesting E-commerce system and method thereof.

In general, the conventional agricultural product trading method maintains a typical trading method in which a crop producer sells agricultural products selected and cultivated and harvested to a broker, and the broker sells to a consumer through a distribution stage composed of several stages. Or, in the form of direct marketplaces on a small scale, some producers and consumers directly deal with them.

Moreover, since agricultural products take a relatively long period of time from cultivation preparations to cultivation and harvesting, which is about 2 to 3 seasons, except for some items that can be stored for a long time, unlike commercial products, e-commerce on the Internet There was a problem that is difficult to achieve.

In addition, even if e-commerce is possible because long-term storage is possible, these items have value as a trading product only once harvested, so other items except main grains fluctuate in price depending on the quantity produced, thus guaranteeing a stable profit for the producer. There was a problem that could not be.

In addition, there is a problem that the reliability of the quality of the agricultural product as a trading product is a constraint that the consumer can only select and purchase according to the seller's awareness or reliability because of the realistic constraints that cannot confirm the cultivation or harvesting process of the agricultural product. In addition, both producers and consumers are increasingly in need of sellers' excessive intermediate distribution costs, resulting in deeper differences in production prices and consumer prices.

The present invention solves all the problems of the conventional agricultural product trading method as described above and devised an improved agricultural product trading method.

A general operation of the electronic commerce system of the present invention having the above configuration will be described. The producer and the consumer can access the ECS server 1 via the Internet network using the Internet web browser 7 mounted on each terminal 3 and 5, and the web server 15 of the present invention stores the data. The contracted agricultural products stored in the device 19 are called through the ODBC 21 and then displayed on the ECS homepage 9 so that producers and consumers can read them in advance.

Therefore, the producer and the consumer can access the terminals 3 and 5 to the ECS homepage 9 through the web server 15 of the ECS server 1, and if the electronic commerce according to the present invention is desired, the producer is registered. In addition, consumer registration, consumer contract farming and harvesting data can be delivered in cyberspace.

Next, an e-commerce method of agricultural products according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

As a first step, the steps of joining a producer member and a consumer member are described in detail as follows.

The producer or the consumer can access the ECS server 1 using the terminals 3 and 5, respectively, to view the contracted agricultural products shown on the ECS homepage 9 (S1), and the contracts to the ECS homepage 9 In the case of producers or consumers with respect to the target agricultural products, in the case of producers, producers, agricultural crops, varieties of the corresponding crops, expected production quality, cultivated area or cultivated trees, annual average output, annual estimated amount of income, annual expected cultivation Producer member registration column is provided to select or input the cost.In case of consumer, selecting the production area, agricultural crop, varieties, quality, etc., the consumer member registration column to view the consumer price per minimum account is provided. Is provided. In this case, if there are several types of agricultural products to be contracted, the general classification is determined by the production area of the agricultural products, the middle classification is determined by the types of crops, and the small classification is determined by the varieties of the crops, so that producers or consumers can visit the agricultural products they want to trade. The classification may be made again by the other classification, or the user may be automatically searched by the keyword search.

Thus, for example, a prospective member of a producer may select the area of production of a crop, the crop of a crop, the variety of the crop, the expected quality of the crop, the production area or the number of plantings, the average annual production, the annual expected amount of income, and the annual forecast. When the basic data such as cultivation cost is inputted, the calculation is performed by the basic data by the income / consumer price database 39 already built in the data storage device 19, and the annual expected amount of income and the cultivation system input by the producer. Click on the homepage (if you agree to the other provisional terms and conditions provided by the ECS website (9) by comparing the total estimated funds, including expenses, with the total required funds presented by the system operator on the basis of the database (39). 9) If you enter personal information, etc. in the membership application form presented above, provisional contract will be made. If not, it will be returned to its initial state. In the case of provisional contract, the system operator inspects the production site of the producer member, and after consulting and confirming more specific contract terms, the contract is formally concluded and related data is sent to the producer member database (27). The storage is made (S2).

Next, enter the consumer member's membership stage after checking the detailed information on the contractable agricultural products prepared by the consumer member on the ECS homepage (9), and selecting the production area, crops, varieties, and quality that he / she wants to purchase. If the expected consumer price of the agricultural product based on the minimum account is presented by the database 39 already established in the data storage device 19 and agrees with the proposed consumer price, the prospective member of the consumer member must Entering the required number of accounts or purchasing units provides provisional terms and conditions that show the costs, crops, varieties, quality, regions of production, and other trade-related transactions. In this case, the unit account for which membership is made is, for example, grain or vegetable in terms of cultivated area, and in the case of fruits such as apples and pears, in terms of cultivated area and cultivated tree, As a standard, it is desirable to set the yield in consideration of the degree suitable for the delivery conditions, and it is preferable that the contract is made based on the yield produced per unit account regardless of whether the crop is more than or equal to the average annual crop. If you agree to these terms and conditions, click and enter personal information, etc. in the membership application presented on the homepage (9), the provisional contract is made (S3), if not agreed to return to the initial state again. When the provisional contract is made, the consumer member makes the contract online only when the money is deposited into the account designated by the system operator according to the terms of the contract or the payment of the consumer member is made through the electronic card (S4). Relevant data of the consumer member is made in the consumer member database 29 is made and the consumer member is also notified (S5).

At this time, the agricultural products contracted by the producer member or consumer member are greatly reduced during the cultivation or harvesting process due to natural disasters or other unavoidable reasons, or unexpected situation occurs in which the harvesting cannot be performed at all, or during the delivery process. In case of theft or alteration, the insurance product may be added to the insurance product in advance at the time of contract, so that the producer or consumer can be made at the time of membership.

At this time, the system operator pays a part of the total required funds determined according to the contract area or the number of contract cultivation units contracted to the producer member (S6).

The second step is to deliver data on each actual cultivation or harvesting situation from the production area to the consumer member during the period from the grower to the harvester contracted by the consumer member, either by the producer member or by the system operator. Each video data (video, still, text, etc.) sent directly from the production site of the producer member by a separate manager operated by the company is stored in the production status database (37) and the consumer member is confirmed on the homepage (9). In this case, the image data stored in the production status database 37 is directly transferred to the consumer member (S7).

At this time, if necessary, in addition to the above-described delivery method of the situation data, the consumer member is delivered to the corresponding consumer member by using the mail sending database 35 of the system server 1 as an event event for the consumer member, and the member is requested to participate. The farmers may visit the farmers' cultivation sites of the producers in the applied area to check the farm products, and if they wish, they may be given the opportunity to participate in the cultivation or harvesting of agricultural products.

In addition, the system operator pays the remaining part of the total required funds for the agricultural products contracted to the producer member during the second step (S8).

Of course, in the above-described second stage, if the number of contract members of the producer member remains, the joining stage of the consumer member in the first stage can be maintained in parallel.

Third, the contracted farm produce is delivered and confirmed to the consumer member, and the remaining balance is paid to the producer member. In the case of harvested contracted farm product, when the consumer member joins the membership or when the harvest is expected The system operator previously informed the consumer member to set up the packaging delivery method in advance, which is divided into the case where the consumer member receives the produce directly from the producer member at the harvesting location or delivers it to the consumer member or the person designated by the consumer member. In the former case, the producer member enters the e-mail or the homepage 9 through the terminal 3 locally and transmits it to the ECS server 1, and the system operator confirms that the contract product has been acquired from the consumer member. In the latter case, the producer member or system operator It is delivered to the consumer members and a step (S9) that includes both the process of confirming the fact that the contract was acquired from agricultural consumer members.

At this time, when the verification process is completed in the third step, the system operator pays the balance of the total required funds for the contracted agricultural products to the producer member within the predetermined contract period (S10).

In addition, if necessary, after the third step described above, the fourth step may further include a step of analyzing the transaction contents of the contract agricultural product for the producer member and the consumer member, and notifying the settlement details online through the mail. . Of course, among the settlement results obtained by analyzing the overall transaction details, for example, the income rate may be variablely set according to needs such as regions, crops, varieties, or quality, and may be publicized, or the producer may include an operator operating a web server. It is also possible to settle and announce the status of the whole operation including members and consumer members.

As described above, according to the present invention, producers of agricultural products such as various grains such as rice, barley, soybean, pear, apple, grape, peach, etc. This guarantees the stable and the consumer can purchase agricultural products at a lower price by excluding the distribution revenue by the existing middle sellers, and the failure of cultivation due to natural disasters or other force majeure reasons Edo has the effect of distributing the damage through the participation of a large number of consumers, and on the contrary, it has the effect that the consumer can enjoy the joy of harvesting during the harvest season.

In addition, by directly conveying the situation from the preparation period of the crop to the growing season and the harvesting period, it is possible to improve the reliability and value of the agricultural products, and if necessary, the consumer member visits the producers of the production area selected by the consumer. By directly viewing and experiencing the cultivation or harvesting process of the selected crop, it can contribute to field education and cultivation of emotion.
