But for the Indian farmers it has become a tragedy over the market to get good price for their produce due to the lack of information and the involvement of broker in the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC).

And the website also provides the information about current market prices (message alerts containing buyer information), seeds and fertilizers along with APMC rates (commodity wise) of previous day. The paper explains about three different portals namely Buyer Portal, Supplier Portal and Information Portal(Daily alerts).This paper gives the information so as to make the farmers to get good price for their crops by means of message alerts to the registered farmers(commodity wise) . It is helpful to avoid the brokers in the market (APMC). This paper gives an E-Marketing facility. It will boost the economic status of farmers.
