Kisan Bandhu
A smart crop advisory and bidding-enabled marketplace platform empowering farmers with better decision-making and fair price discovery.
Kisan bandhu is a Smart Crop Advisory and bidding-enabled local marketplace platform designed to empower farmers in making informed agricultural and selling decisions.
Many farmers struggle not only with crop selection but also with fair price discovery in the market. Often, farmers are forced to accept prices determined by intermediaries, limiting their bargaining power and profitability. Additionally, access to reliable government scheme information and transparent buyer connections remains limited.
Kisan bandhu addresses these challenges by combining advisory support with a structured marketplace system.
This platform provides:
A bidding-enabled local marketplace where farmers can list their crops and receive price offers from buyers
Basic irrigation and fertilizer guidance
Government scheme and MSP information for awareness
Rule-based crop recommendations based on soil type and season
A transparent and farmer-centric interface aimed at improving price discovery and market access
The bidding feature is designed to give farmers greater control over how their produce is valued and sold, promoting fairness and informed decision-making.
The system is developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with structured JSON-based data handling. It focuses on modular design, accessibility, and practical implementation within a hackathon timeframe.
Future enhancements may include real-time mandi price integration, secure authentication for farmers and buyers, enhanced bidding logic, and multilingual support.
