| Summary: | In a recent research conducted by Bangladesh Agricultural University, it is found
that about RM 3.6 billion worth fruits and vegetables perished in a single session. Another
report by Jahangirnagar University stated that upto 40% of harvested products especially
fruits and vegetables have perished. This huge loss occurred due to the lack of post harvest
facilities and a lack of storage system. The purpose of the e-Bazaar application is to create
an online platform for farmers and agri-businessmen to sell their harvest and other food items
through this e-commerce system and provide a new business model. On the other hand, the
buyers are getting an online system to buy their daily groceries and food items online. For
the development of the system, System Development Life Cycle, (SDLC) methodology had
been implemented to acquire a clear understanding of the processes throughout the project.
Farmers, agri-businessmen and existing online system’s business owners had been
interviewed and surveys were carried out to obtain their feedback and needs. For the
development phase, the researchers carried out the MERN stack technologies to develop
the system. The MERN stack consists of 4 technologies which are MongoDB, Express, React
Native, Node.js (MERN). E-Bazaar can create a new platform for the farmers and
businessmen to conduct their business. It will create a new scope for the farmers to sell their
products in bulk and small quantities to a wider range of customers. Many people might get
encouraged in this business since people will not require a physical shop and can start the
business with small capital. This will create job opportunities and more business opportunities
for people in Bangladesh and can be applied in other countries as well. |
