        abstract = {Agriculture is the backbone of the economy, yet many farmers struggle to find direct access to local markets, leading to dependency on intermediaries and reduced profits. This project aims to bridge the gap between farmers and local buyers by developing a digital platform that facilitates direct trade. The platform provides a user-friendly interface where farmers can list their produce, set prices, and connect with consumers, retailers, and wholesalers in their vicinity. The system is designed using HTML and CSS for the front end and MongoDB for the back end, ensuring efficient data management and scalability. By eliminating middlemen, the platform helps farmers gain better prices for their produce while providing consumers with fresh and affordable agricultural products. This initiative not only enhances farmers' income but also contributes to a more sustainable and transparent supply chain in the agricultural sector.},
