Detailed Description

India is the second-largest producer and consumer of vegetables in the world. With the increase in the IT sector in India and the tight schedule of offices, people are finding it difficult to go to the market and buy vegetables every day. Also, people are becoming more health-conscious in terms of the quality of vegetables they consume.

The farmers in India work hard, but still they don't get enough money in return because the vegetables they produce come to end customers through a long middleman chain. Because of this, farmers are not paid an adequate price compared to the price paid by the end customer for the same vegetable.

With this project, I have tried to solve the problems of both farmers and customers by reducing the middleman chain and by providing fresh and nutritious vegetables to customers at their doorstep.
