Abstract: The Farmer to Customer (F2C) AI-powered platform has been set up as a web application aimed at filling the gap between farmers and customers with AI. On the portal, a competent user interface, farmers and customers interact. Farmers can register, log in, add and manage crops, view and manage orders, and track order histories. In addition to this, an AI chatbot implemented using the Gemini API assists users in real-time and resolves issues. Customers register, log in, view crops, place orders, track order history, and chat with the chatbot for a customized experience. MERN assures the highest performance, scalability, and security of data management on this F2C platform. Apart from that, MongoDB, a NoSQL database, stores user records, crop records, and order records. The backend is powered by ExpressJS and NodeJS and manages user authentication, order processing, and API interaction, while ReactJS will be the frontend to provide a highly interactive and responsive user interface. The platform provides farmers and customers with seamless, efficient, and user-friendly interfaces to optimize crop sales, order management, and interaction through cutting-edge AI technology. Functionality adds an intelligent layer with conversational support to engage with users more effectively.

Keywords: Farmer to Customer, Crop Management, MERN Stack, User Authentication, Farmer-Customer Interaction.
