We you discussed about this with @cachedout and interesting points came up during this.i will see if i still remember the details of this process we did.
We have a hypothetical farmer, named Alice. :]
Alice resides in the farming area close to Harare which is Acturus and she has alot of farming products the she produces.At her farm Alice mainly focuses on horticulture products such as tomatoes,onions,carrots,cabbages and mangoes.Alice is not able to travel to the city to get good markets for her products but often times consumers lack the products that she produces.She looks for an alternative to this and found the ZimFarm platform.
She knows that she mainly produces horticulture products and has a community truck that she uses to transport the products to town.In this truck there are other products from the surrounding farmers and can pay a small fee to transport this to the city (Harare).She knows that breakages might happen along the way.When she come to the Zimfarm homepage she founds a link to the register page.
The register page allows her to register as a horticulture farm from a list of other fields like dairy farming, crop farming which splits to the various sections of the crop like maize,groundnuts,roundnuts and rapoko. The register page request for her full name,address,province,farming region,closest city,distance from the nearest city.gender.
When she successfully register she is taken to her personalized dashboard that has all her personal details above with an option of uploading her profile photo.It also has a section for her to fill her bio and how long she has been a farmer and any awards given to her.A checkbox of what level of farming she is at like A1,A2 or communal farmer.
She is then taken to a platform(page) where she can add the list of products that she has to offer of-course under her horticulture section.The amount of products available in kilograms,a photo of the products on their parent plant and also another photo of the products after they have been reaped and is packed into the packing material.The delivery time-frame and also the preferred method of payment like cash , ecocash/telecash/netcash or a bank transfer. Ofcourse the unit cost price.She can also have an option to highlight the area that she can be able to deliver including the delivery price cost.
As soon as she fills these details they will be viewed by BOB #4, there is no direct communication between Alice and Bob except through the platform.When Alice is out of the products she has an option to update the list of her products.When Alice has committed a fraud she can be deactivated and if the ZimFarm staff made a mistake about her fraud issue she can be activated again and if it is verified that she was involved in a fraud case here account can be deactivated from the the ZimFarm platform. Alice's previous transactions will be stored and other consumers can be able to see the service that she offered and the ratings that she got from the particular service.
After finding Zimfarm very profitable to her Alice decides to venture into dairy farming and wants to add that on the Zimfarm profile she can be able to do that.
