Abstract - In the agricultural industry, e-commerce is unquestionably starting to have a significant impact. It is really important to consider how people buy agricultural products. Customers frequently travel great distances to purchase agricultural goods. also, there is no guarantee of receiving the appropriate quality. Using a computerized method, our project seeks to assist farmers as well as buyers and sellers of agricultural products across the nation. The website will help farmers learn new agricultural methods and compare the prices of various products on the market as well as the overall sales and profits made from the products that were sold. With user interaction, the website gives farmers a platform to guarantee higher revenue. The website will function as an exclusive and safe means to perform agro-marketing. Our project uses RI-SHA algorithm to secure the transaction details. With the help of this initiative, consumers may instantly buy the things they want by making an online payment after examining the variety of accessible products.

[11] In the US, roughly 44.8 million adults used sharing economy services in 2016, and statista.com predicts that number would rise to 86.5 million by 2021. 1 C2C-PT, or consumer-to-consumerproducttrade,isasharingmodel.

1.1 Struggles faced by our farmers

The Indianagricultural supplychainfaces thegreatest difficulties. Due to poor logistics, India loses 20% of its agricultural output. Owing to laborious loading and unloading of agricultural produce and a lack of reefer tracks,a considerableportionislost.Productsgothrough a number of processes on their way from the farm to the table,andsomewastageoccursateachstage.[1]

Impact of the middleman: The majority of businesses buy agricultural products from the middleman. [4] Farmers are distinguished from corporations and companies by their powerful lobbying efforts and market dominance.Theagriculturemarkethasavarietyofchains.

1.2 Use of E-commerce platform for farmers

Farmersmayavoidmiddlemenbysellingtheirproducts online, which boosts their income, reduces waste, and providesconsumerswithfreshergoods. Whenmiddlemen fill the gap between farms and markets and make money at every stage of the distribution chain, farmers are left with very little. Scalable and sustainable business

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

J. Vanerio have found that Dynamic access to spectrum resources is becoming more popular due to the growing significance of wireless communications. Effective management strategies that permit spectrum sharing between authorized primary users are necessary for this. secondary users (SU) and primary users (PU) without a license. In this situation, PUs must maintain their right to utilize priority over any SU. Furthermore, no SU shall interfere with any PU. Through Cognitive Radio systems that modify their operational parameters, technical viability can be realized. We first examine various technological and economic models to accomplish effective spectrum sharing, and then we suggest an ondemandsecondarymarketmodelgovernedbyaspectrum brokerwhomanagesresourceallocation.[9]

3.2 Importance of blockchain technology

The Indian government has also launched numerous initiatives in this regard. These websites include Krishijagran.com, farmer.gov.in, agricoop.nic.in, and agriwatch.com, among others. In addition to these, there are other E-commerce websites, such as fert.nic.in and enam.gov.in. Fig.2 displays the industries presently utilizing blockchain.

3.3 RI-SHA Algorithm

The RI-SHA (Reduced Iteration Secure Hash Algorithm) algorithm is a one-way hash function which is developed fromthefamilyofSHA-2withtheideaofreducednumber of rounds in our algorithm. Preprocessing and hash computationareusedtoprocesstheinputdataforRI-SHA algorithm.Inthepreprocessing,amessageisfirstpadded, after which it is parsed into N x 512-bit blocks and initialization values are set. Next, using the padded message and a sequence of the hash value created using

themessagescheduleblocks,hashcomputationisused to createmessagescheduleblocks.[21]TheoutputoftheRISHA is generated as the message digest, which is the final output. The RI-SHA message digest is 256 bits in size which gets it bit-size from it’s predecessor SHA-256 , the message digest always contains distinct values. All operations in RI-SHA algorithm are carried out using 32bitunits.[10]Asaresult,232servesasthefoundationfor all mathematical operations. RI-SHA uses several logic functions including AND, OR, XOR, SHIFT (right), and ROTATE (right) operations and utilizes eight working variables (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, and h), and two temporary variables (T1 and T2). Compared to SHA-256 algorithm our RI-SHA algorithm performs eight rounds lesser in order to increase the computational efficiency. These logical functions, working variables, and temporary variablesarecombinedandmixedtogethertoprocessthe hashcomputationstage.

4.2 Software requirements

1.Front end: JSP

Sun offers Java Server Pages, also known as JSP, as a tool for creating dynamic websites. JSP offers strong serverside scripting functionality for developing web applications that are database driven. JSP gives programmers the ability to directly insert Java code into jspfiles,simplifyingthedevelopmentprocessand making maintenance much simpler. [17] JSP pages are effective; theyloadintothewebserver'smemoryimmediatelyafter receiving the first request, and any subsequent calls are answered quickly. The Java platform uses Java Server Pages (JSP) technology to serve dynamic content to web clientsinaportable,secure,andwell-definedmanner.

2.Back end: Java Servlet

A Java class can be dynamically loaded to increase the capabilitiesofaserverthankstotheJavaServlet,ageneral server extension. Servlets are portable and secure since they are used with web servers and execute inside a Java VirtualMachine(JVM)ontheserver.Theydon'tneedjava supportlikeappletsdo,thereforetheycanrunonanyweb browser. Servlets don't employ several processes to deal with various requests, in contrast to CGI. [17] Within the sameprocess,servletscanbeprocessedbymanythreads. Moreover,portableandcross-platform,Servletsare.

3.Database: SQL 5.5

Based on SQL (Structured Query Language) queries, MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS). It is one of the most widely used languages for managing and gaining access to table records. Under the terms of the GNU license, MySQL is free and open-source software.TheOracleCorporationbacksit. MySQLoffers a wide range of database management features. [14] For controlling the data itself, you can enable cursors and databasetriggersforvariousoperations.

5. PERFORMANCE METRICS

Comparatively other apps are less interactive than our app.Followingaretheresultsofourapplication.

Enhanced user experience: E-commerce websites that are simple to use and navigate likely to draw and keep more visitors. Site owners might think about adding functions like personalized product recommendations, simple checkoutoptions,andpredictivesearch.

Mobile optimization: As more and more people shop online or on their phones, e-commerce sites that are mobile-friendly are more likely to draw in and keep customers.

Product information: Providing detailed and accurate product information can be critical for customers making purchasingdecisions.Siteownerscouldconsider

6. CONCLUSION

This analysis supports the idea that E-commerce will benefit farmers by enabling them to reap some rewards for their labor. To improve farming in rural areas and increase awareness of commodities and their market values, the e-commerce system is required. The government can also benefit from using this kind of systemtoobtainaccurateinformationaboutthecropsthat are readily available in each region. According to the researchweconducted,smallholderswillbenefitfromthe growth and transformation of e-commerce as a novel means of market access and management. We'll create a system that every rural farmer can utilize with ease. The project we are working on will give farmers the highest possible earnings so they get their profit without providingthemtowholesaleretailerswhoquotetheprice fortheirproducts.

7. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

As an AI language model, I am unable to comment on the specifics of any one e-commerce site or on how it is now functioning, but I can provide some broad recommendationsforpotentialfutureimprovementstoan e-commerce site that offers agricultural products. We can convertthismodelintoareal-worldcommercialinitiative inthefuture.Currently,userdataissavedindatabases.In the future, user and farmer data may be stored in the cloud.
