Solving for India Hackathon

Problem:

Indian farmers face numerous challenges within the market system, According to the National Sample Survey, around 86% of farmers are small and marginal and the rest are large farmers. In the traditional market system, both small and large Indian farmers face distinct challenges. Small farmers, who constitute a significant portion of the farming community, struggle with limited market access, poor bargaining power and lack of infrastructure due to insufficient capital. According to the Agricultural Census of India 2015-16, small operational holdings (less than 2 hectares) accounted for about 86.2% of the total operational holdings. some common problems faced by farmers are:

• Limited market access
• Lack of price transparency and fair pricing
• Inefficient equipment utilization
• lack of infrastructure due to insufficient capital
• Limited access to market information and trends
• Dependency on intermediaries

These challenges underscore the need for market reforms, that promote fair pricing mechanisms, strengthen market infrastructure, and enhance farmers' access to market information.
