| dc.description.abstract | Sri Lanka has been an agricultural country
since the age of kings. As one of the main economic
streams in the country,, it brings a massive amount
of foreign exchange to strengthen the economy. Rice
and organic food consumption have drastically
increased due to the population and high demand for
fresh and healthy foods. Both fruits and vegetables are
cultivated all across the country. Including the
highlands of the central province and the in-land
areas. The main reason to build an E-commerce
platform like this is to address the problem of
unnecessary involvement of the middlemen who buy
produce from farmers and sell it to customers. They
are the ones who control the market price and cause
unnecessary price hikes, gaining the highest profit
from the business. Because every farmer doesn't have
the storage and transport facilities to deliver the
product to markets. Farmers can’t get the price they
deserve and the customers have to pay extra. The
solution suggested in this research paper will stifle this
problem by keeping a steady market price while
farmers can make a better profit from their
products. Therefore, they can widespread their sales
all over the world. Through this e-commerce platform,
farmers can suppress the middlemen's involvement by
directly interacting with customers. Nevertheless, with
this web application, users will be aware of the
agricultural products in the nearest locations. This
web application can reduce the wastage of food in
transport. Anyone can buy the products they need with
great comfort. | en_US |
