Description

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MATCHING THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS AND
PRODUCE REQUISITES
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of electronic commerce systems and methods. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for matching the agricultural products and produce requisites.
Background
[0002] In general farmers are well-versed with the conventional methods of farming. But they depend on the third party for the provision of services and to know the about scientific advancements in farming. The modern scientific advancements in the field of farming are not known up to date by the farmer, which may reduce the profits earned by the farmers.
[0003] Conventionally, the agriculture commodities, products and services are traded by farmers or sellers in order to efficiently distribute to the ultimate customer or buyer through a third party service providers. The interference of third party causes a loss of revenue to both sellers and buyers.
[0004] Farmers are often lacking the up to date information of the products available in the market, whereas the third party will have a better knowledge of the product and gains more profit. Moreover the traditional paper based advertisements posted either by the sellers or buyers could not be efficiently reached among to the required customers by the intervention of the third party service providers and also the amount of time consumed to reach the sellers or buyers is high.
[0005] Typically, with the advent of the new technology the problems associated with the interference of third party service providers is solved to some extent by the usage of digital signage advertisements. Typically, digital signage advertisements are often more cost effective than traditional advertising media and also display unlimited content. [0006] To overcome the above described disadvantages associated with the third party service providers and to further reduce the risks from third parties and to access the information about international and domestic markets, financial services and news regarding agricultural commodities is possible through the usage of internet which may stifle the growth of agriculture sector. Online or web based methods provide a direct medium between the buyers and sellers. But these suffer due to certain limitations like they lack in advertising or enabling a fair trade between the buyers and sellers located in a same location and also in a predetermined time.
[0007] In the light of aforementioned limitations and to overcome the drawbacks associated with existing web based advertising methods, there exists a need for an enhanced method and system for establishing a localized trading network between buyers and sellers for sharing information related agricultural produce and products and also to enable a location based trading of the agricultural produce and products
