Abstract: With the rapid advancement of digital technologies, agricultural supply chains are increasingly seeking efficient platforms to manage production, trading, and distribution activities. However, traditional agricultural markets still rely heavily on manual record-keeping, intermediaries, and fragmented communication among farmers, traders, and buyers. These limitations often result in lack of transparency, inaccurate record management, delayed transactions, and reduced profitability for farmers. To address these challenges, this work proposes an AI-Integrated Digital Marketplace for Lemon Supply Chain, a secure and scalable digital platform designed to streamline lemon trading operations. The system leverages modern web technologies, including React.js, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and RESTful APIs, to provide a responsive and user-friendly interface for managing supply chain transactions. The backend infrastructure utilizes Spring Boot and MySQL to ensure reliable data storage, secure communication, and efficient processing of purchase and sales records. The platform allows farmers to register their produce, merchants to manage procurement activities, and buyers to track product availability and transactions in real time. The proposed system also supports digital transaction management, automated quantity and price calculations, and PDF receipt generation, enabling accurate documentation and improved financial tracking. By digitizing the supply chain workflow, the platform reduces manual errors, enhances transparency, and simplifies data management for stakeholders in the lemon trade. Experimental evaluation of the system demonstrates improved efficiency in transaction recording, greater visibility into market activity, and reduced reliance on manual bookkeeping. The results confirm that the proposed digital marketplace provides a reliable and scalable solution for modernizing agricultural supply chains while supporting farmers and traders through improved operational efficiency and data-driven decision-making.
