Architecture walkthrough
- Role-specific profiles distinguish farmers posting produce from consumers and retailers searching for supply.
- Produce records carry price, quantity and quality information. Discovery and negotiation connect available stock with a prospective buyer.
- Orders move the interaction from an agreed listing to tracking, invoices and a payment-provider boundary.
- Local logistics and cooperative bulk sales extend the transaction workflow. Market trends and agricultural-extension information support subsequent decisions.
Engineering decisions
- Role-specific access keeps produce management separate from buyer actions.
- Price negotiation and order tracking are distinct workflows, preserving the transition from discussion to a transaction.
- Localization is part of interaction design for rural users, alongside straightforward produce-entry forms.
- Mobile, backend and storage alternatives are organized by responsibility so the application design can be evaluated without coupling every module to one provider.
