Short Description

The concept of Agricultural Coordination software rose from the news article that some farmers in China had all planted the same sort of crop and the supply went over so much the demand that the farmers were not able to sell most of their crop. The main purpose of the AgriCoord software is to coordinate the planting and market planning over large market areas. The software service records current market prices, accepts queries and also accepts updates on the crop situation. If any crop has an alarming supply-demand rate, it will send alerts to farmers that are currently planning to plant that sort of crop.
