Introduction
MBFSA or Mobile Based Farmer Support Application is a new mobile application
proposed by Globex for assisting the farmers in gathering sufficient data regarding weather
conditions, crops grown, favorable conditions for growing crops and others. Accordingly,
Globex has instructed Virtucon to start working on the project and deliver the same within six
months.
Project Description
This project involves development of a mobile application with some specific features
described by Globex. The application needs to allow farmers and wholesalers to open their
personal account and add data to the database regarding crop generation, production, sales,
weather and others. They will also be able to download certain data that will assist them in their
activities like crop production, sales analysis and others.
