Abstract

Sri Lanka’s spice market is significantly impacting the global spice market. In the current context, farmers are encountering practical issues such as high production costs, difficulties finding international markets, and high margins from intermediate sellers. Moreover, farmers are less aware of reaching the international market due to several barriers. This paper presents an online user- friendly auction system that allows bidders and sellers to interact through an online platform. The proposed system is low-cost and includes many features such as price forecasting, complaint management, etc.
