I. Introduction
In India, agriculture is the largest dependent sector. As we all know, farmers are struggling to meet their needs. There comes a thought to use software technologies to help farmers with our hands-on project. We are utilizing the latest tech simple to integrate agricultural efforts. Farmers are able to get knowledge of cultivation techniques. A simple user-friendly interface easily helps users to get into our website.
Fortunate and very responsive which enables it to work effectively on any type of device. The website functions are in different languages like Hindi, English and some regional languages. The farmers who grow crops according to the season, after harvesting the crops they pack them and contact the vendor regarding the stock availability. The wholesale vendor asks for the price, the farmer tells the price at which he can trade at. The vendor who is striving for his pro ts negotiates with the farmer regarding the price the needy farmer sacri cing their pro ts generally accept the price told by the vendor. Due to nancial conditions and the unavailability of vendors, the farmer will sell their products at low prices demanded by the market. Farmers grew their crop since there are various other problems such as soil infertility, weather changes, seed defects etc. So they expect some pro ts for their products. Due to wholesale vendors and their marketing strategies farmers are not getting their required pro ts. The wholesale vendors after buying the crop from farmers at their quoted price, sell it to retail vendors. Then the retailer vendors sell it to end customers. Here the intermediate vendors are getting enough pro ts for their selling. Farmers only lose their pro ts even though the most hard work is theirs. Technology is the driving force in every sector. We use this technology to drive the farmers into a pro table way. Here we are introducing the multivendor E-commerce business for farmers to do their business. It will help farmers by giving an opportunity to sell their products easier on our digital platform. Our main aim is to develop farmers by using the new technology and making their business more e cient and also it is used to speed up their marketing process. It will be helpful for farmers to generate pro table income. It will disconnect the connection with intermediate vendors that helps to save some money.

Ii. Motivation
Farming is not a job, it is a way of living. Agriculture is completely involved in the Indian culture. Food is one of the major sources of living farmers who are producing these food are not ful lling their needs.
Right now in the country, the farmers are facing a lot of issues in agriculture. In the process of research, we came to know that there is a way to utilize digital technology to help the farmers. Technology is stepping in every eld and helping every eld in its own way so we were taught to bring this E-commerce business into farming.We are taught that this creative and unique idea will help farmers to reduce their efforts in selling and buying their products. The farmers sell their product to the speci c dealer to sustain in these present situations. Here farmers don't know the exact price of the product they are selling. The entire system is not transparent. Farmers are not aware of prices in different markets and thus they don't know where they can sell their products to obtain greater pro ts. This brings the motivation in us to develop a helpful system for farmers.

Iii. Literature Survey
Signi cant research has been done on the agriculture market and various studies in journals about the agricultural sector. Making a distinct platform for farmers helps them to share some information about agriculture. Technology is existing everywhere from well equipped cities to a small village in the current generation. So there are no di culties in using the technology to move into this e-commerce eld. In the study, we got to know that the majority of the farmers are not getting enough pro ts for their crops. All the intermediate market strategies doing all these losses to the hard-working farmers. Despite all the hard work and patience to grow the crops, farmers play a crucial role in the agricultural life cycle but still they are facing a lot of issues to get pro t due to their bad circumstances. In India two-third of the one billion population relies on agricultural entities. Now the country is not matching the requirements for agriculture. As it led to so many dropdowns in agriculture.
The farming sector has to formulate with the rise in the market to do such increments there should be unique development that has to be done. That is the new techniques and technology should be used to build modern farming in a high yield manner. A lot of countries are doing their research on technologies to use them in farming, in the process, they are achieving good outcomes. With the spread technology, agricultural system connections between regions become easy and they can easily get the information they are seeking. The modern IT(Information Technology) infrastructure simpli es the integration in the network. We can use information technology in an enormous amount in the agricultural sector. From planting saplings to harvesting the present advances in information technology help us to adopt new automated ways in farming. All of this resulted in that information technology is very much bene cial in all the techniques carried out in the farm management system. After harvesting, there is the main struggle to begin selling the product, every farmer wants to sell their product for pro ts. To analyse the cost in different markets the IT Services are more helpful to farmers. Most of the public are aware of smartphones and their usage which will help to go with the technology. The website we are making is simple in design and easy to understand the interface of the website. Technology has advanced to a high level and farmers have the option of using mobile phones in rural regions effectively. We publish the information from the Indian Farmers Cooperative Limited(IFFCO) which is a multi-state cooperative society in India on our website. The information is all about farming techniques, this will be transferred in the form of MMS, voice response, reading blogs. We will implement these services slowly in multilanguages, which make the promotional campaigns easily understandable through various regions.

But E-Commerce is mainly divided into three sections: B2B (business-to-business), B2C (business-to-consumer and C2C (consumer-to-consumer). These three sections are also called E-Commerce. The website system we are developing will help them to make more informed decisions and increase their income potential by aligning the farm output to market demands. There might be an effective increase in the usage of the network in future and also networks available in every rural area in India. So there should not be any consequences with the networks to manage the digital system.
