AgroMart: A Decentralized Farmers' Market Using Blockchain

Traditional supply chains in the agriculture business are afflicted by several major concerns, such as many parties, difficulty in communication brought on by an extended supply chain timeline, a lack of confidence, and a centralized system. However, there is a solution to these problems: the decentralized system. Due to the intricate and interrelated nature of agricultural supply chains, it can be particularly challenging to keep track of product safety or quality issues. This is especially true for the core agricultural food supply networks that make up the daily diets of most people. One of the persistent problems that had been plaguing the mechanisms used for food supply chain traceability has been solved thanks to the development of blockchain technology. Blockchain has evolved as a prominent technology since it can provide secure traceability and control, immutability, and the creation of stakeholder confidence in a cost-effective information technology solution. The widespread implementation of blockchain technology in supply chains is being hampered by several problems, even though blockchain is having a significant impact in a great many other areas. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based application with the purpose of directly connecting local farmers and proprietors of small-scale grocery shops with one another, eliminating the requirement for a third party to act as an intermediary.
