Abstract

India is an agricultural based developing nation. India's economical benefaction of agriculture to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is reducing the overall economic growth. Some real-time challenges are faced by the farmers due to much less knowledge about Weather Forecast, Efficient Crop-Production, Sales and regular Market Scenario, etc. Cloud Computing is a prime factor in agriculture and the most increasing way through which data, applications, and resources for computing are provided as a kind of service to the farmer. A Cloud-based framework is developed to provide the agricultural updates through SMS (in regional language), which is more useful to farmers to get the required information. By considering Data as a Service (DaaS), expert advice for Crop, Fertilizers, Market Scenario, etc., is provided to farmers against the database queries. This system will provide an easy-to-use interface for both farmers and concerned agency, and updates with any information on the market status of various products regularly.
