Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have made our lives easy. ICTs are playing valuable roles in variety of technical fields such as education, banking, health, E-commerce and many more. ICTs can also be used for farmers to help them to get more production and profit. This paper describes a web based system - “Krishi-Portal” which will assist farmer to get information about various crops, diseases on crops, crops’ rates, government schemes for farmers and weather forecasting. The system is also a good platform for selling farmer’s production and buying material from vendors which is necessary for farm. Farmer can also buy or sell new or old agricultural machineries that are used in farms like cultivators, disc harrows, etc. This system is specifically useful for farmers but other business sectors will definitely get benefit of it; those are agricultural agencies (such as tractor sellers), hotels (by getting raw materials- vegetables, milk, etc.), and fertilizer sellers.
