Abstract

The "Farm Trade System" is a dynamic web-based platform designed to

support farmers by offering a centralized hub for agricultural information and
services. This system promotes collaborative knowledge sharing, enabling
farmers to exchange best practices in farming techniques, thereby improving
productivity and profitability. Additionally, it serves as an online marketplace,
allowing
farmers to sell their produce directly while providing them access to essential
agricultural products such as tools and seeds from various sellers.

The application incorporates robust user management features, enabling

farmers to register, update, view, and manage their profiles seamlessly. Buyers
can explore and purchase agricultural products with ease, supported by
features for sending purchase requests and addressing quality-related
concerns through integrated email communication. By fostering direct
interactions
between farmers and buyers, the system aims to enhance the efficiency of
agricultural trade and ensure better access to critical farming resources,
contributing to a more sustainable and connected agricultural ecosystem.

CHAPTER 2:

STUDY EXISTING SYSTEM

2.1 Case Study
SourceTrace collaborated with the Small Farmers Agri-business Consortium
(SFACH) and the Karnataka Horticulture Department to deploy innovative digital
solutions to empower horticulture farmers. Leveraging a combination of
advanced technologies like HTML, CSS,
JavaScript, Python-Flask, and MySQL, the team designed and implemented a robust and
efficient system to manage Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs). This system
focuses on streamlining agricultural processes, enhancing operational efficiency,
and eliminating errors through automation and data management. It is built to
adapt to evolving technological trends, making it both efficient and future-proof.
By addressing the unique needs of FPOs, the system ensures scalability,
reliability, and enhanced decision-making capabilities, ultimately improving the
lives of farmers and fostering sustainable agricultural practices.
2.2 Proposed System
The proposed Farm Trade System aims to revolutionize the agricultural
marketplace by providing a user-friendly digital platform that facilitates
seamless trade between farmers and customers. Farmers can list their produce
for sale online, while buyers can easily browse and purchase products, ensuring
a broader reach for agricultural goods. A unique feature of this system allows
buyers to request quality checks, promoting transparency and trust in
transactions.
The system is designed to support two distinct user roles:
1. Farmers:
o Secure login to manage accounts.
o Upload detailed product listings, including images, descriptions, and prices.
o Track orders and sales history for better financial management.
2. Customers:
o Secure login for personalized access.
o Browse and search for available products by categories or keywords.
o Place orders, request quality checks, and provide feedback for
continuous improvement.
To ensure secure access, the platform employs robust authentication
mechanisms using login credentials. The system is equipped with an intuitive
interface, where users can
effortlessly navigate sections such as product listings, orders, and support.
These features not only boost profitability for farmers by eliminating
intermediaries but also enable customers to access fresh and quality produce
directly from the source.
By integrating modern web technologies and a scalable backend
architecture, the Farm Trade System is built to adapt to future
enhancements, ensuring it remains relevant and impactful.

SYSTEM
The backend is built using MySQL, a reliable Database
Management System (DBMS) that handles large structured
datasets efficiently. Python is used for scripting and Flask for
the web framework. MySQL ensures
data security, prevents unauthorized access, and maintains
data integrity through features like ACID compliance, unique
indexing, and triggers for updates, insertions, and deletions.
Flask, a lightweight and flexible web framework, simplifies the
integration of backend functionality with the frontend.

3. 3 Implementation
The system employs Python for backend development, MySQL for
database management, and Flask as the web framework. It
comprises modules for user authentication, crop and product
management, and secure database operations. The frontend,
developed using HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript, is enhanced with Bootstrap for responsive
design and compatibility across devices.

3.3.1 Back End: MySQL

The MySQL database is structured to store and manage farmer
profiles, crop details, product inventory, and transaction data.
Key features include:
1. SQL: Structured Query Language (SQL) is used for
precise and efficient database interactions.
2. Stored Procedures: These facilitate efficient data
processing by encapsulating complex SQL logic within
reusable procedures.
3. Triggers: Automated database actions are implemented
to ensure consistency and track changes. Triggers
execute specific tasks upon database events, such as
insertions, updates, or deletions.
3.3.2 SQL Triggers Example:
 Trigger Name: on_insert
o Table: register
o Event: INSERT
6
 DBMS MINI PROJECT
FARM TRADE 2024-25
SYSTEM
o Definition: INSERT INTO trig VALUES (NULL,
NEW.rid, 'Farmer Inserted', NOW());
 Trigger Name: on_delete
o Table: register
o Event: DELETE
o Definition: INSERT INTO trig VALUES (NULL,
OLD.rid, 'Farmer Deleted', NOW());
 Trigger Name: on_update
o Table: register
o Event: UPDATE
o Definition: INSERT INTO trig VALUES (NULL,
NEW.rid, 'Farmer Updated', NOW());
These triggers maintain a log of operations, which can be
helpful for audit trails and debugging.
4. Indexes: Unique indexes are employed to ensure data
integrity and improve query performance.
5. Scalability: The database schema is designed for
scalability, enabling the addition of new features like
analytics or enhanced reporting without significant
redesign.

3.3.3 Back End: Python with MySQL

The backend uses Python to manage business logic, handle
requests, and process data. It incorporates the following
technologies:
1. Flask: Provides routing, templating, and integration
with the MySQL database.
2. Flask-MySQL and SQLAlchemy: Libraries are used to
interact with the database efficiently. SQLAlchemy's
ORM capabilities simplify complex SQL queries and
enable seamless integration between Python objects
and database tables.
3. Key Features:

7
 DBMS MINI PROJECT
FARM TRADE 2024-25
SYSTEM
o CRUD Operations: Create, Read, Update, and
Delete operations are implemented to manage
database entities.
o User Authentication: Includes secure login,
session management, and role-based access
control.
o Validation and Error Handling: Validates user
inputs to prevent SQL injection and other
vulnerabilities.

3.3.4 Front End

The frontend is designed to provide a user-friendly and
intuitive interface. Key technologies and features include:
1. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: Standard web technologies
are used for structure, styling, and interactivity.
2. Bootstrap: Enables responsive design, ensuring
compatibility with different screen sizes and devices.
3. Dynamic Features: JavaScript enhances user experience
with real-time updates, form validation, and dynamic
page interactions.
4. Static Files: Includes well-organized stylesheets,
JavaScript libraries, and multimedia assets.
5. AJAX: Used for asynchronous communication
between the frontend and backend, allowing for
smooth and fast user
interactions.

Additional Features (To Improve)

1. Security:
o Password Hashing: Implements strong hashing
algorithms (e.g., bcrypt) to store user passwords
securely.
o Data Encryption: Sensitive information is encrypted
during transmission to prevent unauthorized
access.

FARM TRADE 2024-25
SYSTEM
2. Scalability:
o The modular design of both the backend and
frontend allows easy addition of new functionalities.

9
 DBMS MINI PROJECT
FARM TRADE 2024-25
SYSTEM
o The database schema supports future expansions,
such as analytics dashboards or advanced
reporting.
3. Error Monitoring and Logging:
o Logs are maintained for debugging and
monitoring application health.
o Flask’s built-in debugging tools aid developers
during development.
This architecture is robust, ensuring high performance,
security, and scalability for agricultural and related
applications.
