Farm2Market: A Digital Procurement Platform for Smart and Transparent Food Supply Chain Management

The rapid growth of digital technologies has transformed traditional supply chain management systems, particularly in the food sector. Conventional food procurement processes often suffer from inefficiencies such as lack of transparency, delayed communication, and limited market access for farmers and suppliers. This research proposes a Digital Food Procurement Platform designed to streamline the procurement process by connecting farmers, suppliers, distributors, and buyers through an integrated digital system. The platform enables real-time product listing, online ordering, inventory management, and digital payment processing, thereby improving operational efficiency and transparency in food supply chains. The proposed system utilizes modern web technologies to create a scalable and user-friendly environment that supports efficient procurement operations. Experimental evaluation indicates that the platform significantly reduces manual intervention, improves procurement speed, and enhances traceability in the food distribution process. This research contributes to the development of sustainable and technology-driven food supply chain management systems.
