AgroConnect is an AI-Powered digital agricultural marketplace that connects farmers, buyers, and transporters in a unified platform. The solution streamlines agricultural commerce through specialised tools for farm management, marketplace transactions, logistics coordination, and data-driven insights.
The Problem
The agricultural sector faces fragmented processes: farmers lack direct market access, buyers struggle to source quality produce efficiently, and logistics coordination between stakeholders is disjointed. There's no centralized platform that addresses farm operations, marketplace transactions, and transportation management in one ecosystem.
