Agriculture industry ranks amongst the most important industries which play a very critical role in economic development and livelihood generation. However, there are several challenges faced in agriculture making it hard to conduct business such as lack of price information, dependence on middlemen and inefficiencies in decision-making tool used by the farmers. In this paper, AgriLink web-based agricultural application is proposed. This will assist farmers in making effective decisions in the market. The framework provided in the paper allows farmers to make comparisons regarding crop prices, estimating profits and direct communication with the vendors. The framework makes use of inputs from the users, market price information and the process of decision making to generate an optimal solution for selling of crops. Matching algorithm matches farmers with relevant vendors based on crop types and location, and transportation costs are estimated to compute profit. Application framework for the web-based system is adopted whereby the user enters crop details and gets instant feedback. In addition to making the markets transparent, the proposed platform can be employed in ensuring that the process of agricultural digitization takes place because it can facilitate quick communication among the stakeholders without delaying decision making. The platform also has a lightweight and scalable system architecture, thus being suitable for implementation in rural areas owing to low computing power. In view of the integration of market intelligence and profitability analysis tools, the platform becomes very useful for smallholder farmers.
