Problem Statement

Why E-Mandi?

India's agricultural sector is the backbone of the nation, with millions of farmers working tirelessly to feed the population. However, many farmers struggle to get a fair price for their produce due to middlemen and lack of access to markets. E-Mandi aims to address this issue by providing a user-friendly platform that offers the following solutions:

  1. Connect Farmers with Buyers: E-Mandi offers a system that connects farmers with buyers from all over India. This digital marketplace enables farmers to reach a wider audience, ensuring that their produce gets the attention it deserves.

  2. Simple and Accessible Interface: To cater to the digital divide, E-Mandi offers a straightforward interface that works on mobile devices. Farmers can upload produce details and respond to buyers through SMS, making it accessible to those with limited internet connectivity.

  3. Secure Transactions: E-Mandi ensures secure transactions by allowing buyers to visit the location and inspect the produce before purchase. Alternatively, it integrates a courier service to facilitate the delivery of vegetables to the buyers, creating a secure and trustworthy marketplace.

  4. No Additional Marketing Costs: By using E-Mandi, farmers can reduce their marketing and delivery costs, as the platform handles these aspects. This means that farmers can enjoy better prices for their produce, improving their overall income.
