| contents | Abstract - Agricultural supply chains in developing economies Contract farming has been proposed as a solution to these issues by establishing formal agreements between farmers and buyers. These agreements typically define product specifications, pricing terms, delivery schedules, and payment conditions. However, in practice, contract farming systems remain ineffective due to reliance on manual processes, lack of transparency, and weak contract enforcement mechanisms. This paper presents FarmConnect, a mobile-based digital platform designed to enable end-to-end contract farming through structured negotiation, automated contract generation, and fulfillment tracking. To ensure data integrity, a SHA-256 based cryptographic hashing mechanism is integrated for tamper detection of digital contracts. The system is implemented using Kotlin (Jetpack Compose) and a Node.js backend with secure authentication mechanisms. A pilot evaluation demonstrates improved transparency, reduced negotiation time, and reliable contract verification. The proposed system provides a scalable and secure alternative to traditional contract farming practices.The system also incorporates a trust score mechanism to improve reliability in contract-based transactions. |
