An app which provides curated content that can help a farmer at all the stages of the farming process.
There is a lot of information spread on the internet that can help a farmer. Farmers are not tech savvy, barely use smart phones and are unable to consume this information. We want to facilitate farmers to consume information over a simple, multilingual interface and the farmers can get curated information. We want to help them at all the stages of the farming process. Some of the examples of questions/problems that farmers may have are mentioned below.
- Where can I find “Urea”?
- Which is the best retailer around me?
- What are the pests danger around me?
- What is the price of rice in my mandi?
- Search fertilizer products with parameters such as product name, company name, location proximity.
- Search dealers with parameters such as dealers selling particular products/brands, in a particular location, dealers with particular products in-stock
