✓ The Problem
My father is a farmer in rural Nigeria. He loses money waiting for “market day” to know crop prices, or spends costly mobile data to check online. This app solves that.
✓ How It Works:
Farmers type a crop name in the terminal and get instant price + market info. No internet required because prices are stored offline.
✓ Tech Stack:
- **Language**: Python 3
- **Concepts**: Dictionaries, User Input, Loops, Conditional Logic
- **Run time**: <5 seconds on any computer.
✓ Demo:
Run the code: `python farm_price.py`
Type crop names: `maize`, `rice`, `beans`, `tomato`
Type `exit` to quit
✓ Future Upgrade:
Version 2.0 will use Twilio SMS API to send real text messages to farmers with feature phones. This prototype proves the logic works offline first.
✓ Built For:
EducationUSA Opportunity Funds Program application. Goal: Study Computer Science in the US, return to build low-bandwidth agritech for rural Nigeria.
