K-Mart, short for Kisan Mart, is an innovative platform designed for Indian farmers to access real-time market prices for their yields. The app shows prices from nearby and distant markets, helping farmers decide where to sell their produce for maximum profit. Beyond market prices, K-Mart offers features like weather updates, event notifications, government schemes, and order management. A future update will include a Crop Doctor feature, using CNN, deep learning, and ML models with TensorFlow, to diagnose plant diseases.

K-Mart addresses this by providing a comprehensive platform that not only helps farmers get the best prices for their yields but also offers additional resources to support their farming activities and decision-making processes.
K-Mart allows farmers to:
- Access Market Prices: View live prices from various markets to choose the most profitable one.
- Weather Updates: Receive timely weather information to plan farming activities.
- Event Notifications: Stay informed about relevant agricultural events and deadlines.
- Government Schemes: Learn about and apply for government schemes and support programs.
- Order Management: Manage and track orders for agricultural inputs and services.
- Crop Doctor (Future Update): Diagnose plant diseases by uploading photos of affected plants.
- User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive design for seamless navigation and ease of use.
- Real-Time Data: Access to live market prices and weather updates.
- Comprehensive Resource Center: Information on government schemes, events, and order management.
- Secure and Confidential: Prioritizes user privacy and data security.
- Advanced Plant Diagnosis (Future Update): AI-powered plant disease detection using CNN, deep learning, and ML models.
K-Mart is built using the following technologies:
- Frontend: React Native, Expo
- Backend: Django, Django Rest Framework, Node.js
- State Management: Redux
- Database: MySQL
- Authentication: JWT Authentication
- HTTP Requests: Axios
The backend processes user inputs and maintains the database, while the frontend offers an interactive user interface for accessing market prices, weather updates, and other features.
Integrating the Django-based backend with React Native frontend presented initial challenges, particularly in maintaining real-time data flow and ensuring secure authentication. However, by leveraging Axios for HTTP requests and JWT for authentication, we achieved seamless integration.
Developing K-Mart provided valuable insights into full-stack development, especially in backend-frontend communication and secure data management. We enhanced our skills in React Native, Django, state management, and machine learning model integration, leading to a robust and user-centric application.
Future enhancements for K-Mart include:
- Crop Doctor Feature: Integrating advanced analytics for plant disease detection using CNN, deep learning, and ML models.
- Enhanced User Experience: Adding new features to further support farmers' decision-making processes.
- Expanded Resource Center: Providing more comprehensive information on agricultural practices, government schemes, and market trends.
