Abstract
The traditional farming supply chain model in most developing economies relies on middlemen. As a result, farmers’ profit margins are extremely low, or consumers make very expensive purchases. To solve this problem, this paper presents KrishiSetu, an e-commerce web project that is an agricultural MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js). The KrishiSetu principle is to ensure that farmers and buyers have real-time access to each other. The platform offers the farmer a convenient dashboard where he can post crop details and set prices, in addition to reading orders. On the other hand, consumers have the chance to search and compare prices for fresh vegetables and fruits online and order them directly from farms. The paper outlines the system’s technical architecture, the different modules that comprise it, and how this platform has been used in the real world. It is implied in the conclusion that resolving the crisis with farmers and consumers through the use of web technologies not only increases farmers’ profits but also provides new, traceable food products to purchasers.

Conclusion
While working on the KrishiSetu project, it was discovered that issues at the ground level in our country can be effectively resolved with the assistance of the latest web technologies. The MERN stack has enabled us to develop a fast, secure, and optimised mobile stack that allows a farmer to interface directly with consumers. It replenishes financial places in the hands of consumers with new, cheap, and traceable food products, thereby empowering the farmers.
