Abstract	Farmers often face financial setbacks due to dependence on middlemen, limiting their access to fair prices. This paper presents KropCart, a mobile app that connects farmers directly with consumers and retailers, enabling secure transactions and better profit margins. Through the app, farmers can list produce, negotiate prices, and use integrated payment systems. KropCart also features machine learning tools for crop disease detection and crop selection. Farmers can upload images to identify crop diseases and receive treatment suggestions, while the recommendation system advises on optimal crops based on soil conditions, weather, and market trends. The platform enhances market access, reduces reliance on intermediaries, and empowers farmers with data-driven support to improve productivity and income.
