The app “Marketplace – Farm-to-Fork: Grains and Special Flours” is an interactive platform that connects directly agricultural producers, artisanal mills, and professional users such as bakeries, pizzerias, and pastry shops.
Its goal is to enhance the short supply chain of grain, promoting transparency regarding products, the origin of raw materials, and processing practices.

Through an intuitive interface, the app allows producers to publish detailed offers for grains and flours, while buyers can filter, compare, and calculate customized quotes immediately.
The system also generates exports in JSON and CSV formats, useful for management systems or for sharing results with other operators.

Main Objectives

The app was created to meet three key needs:

  1. Encourage direct contact between producers and consumers, without intermediaries.
  2. Promote traceability and transparency of agricultural and milling products.
  3. Simplify consultation and comparison between flours, semolinas, and grains of different types, origins, and production methods.

How It Works

The operation is based on two main areas:

  • Producer Area, dedicated to those who want to add new offers to the marketplace.
  • Buyer Area, dedicated to those looking to purchase flours or grains.

1. Offer Submission (for producers and mills)

The producer fills out a dedicated form with the main data:

  • Producer or farm name.
  • Type of product (flour or grain).
  • Cereal type (soft wheat, hard wheat, spelt, rye, corn, etc.).
  • Commercial designation (e.g., Type 1, Whole Grain, Semolina).
  • Production method (organic or conventional).
  • Type of processing (stone or rollers).
  • Region of origin.
  • Technical data: packaging in kg, price per kg, availability, and any value W (strength index).
  • Certifications (e.g., EU Organic, PDO, PGI) and optional notes.

After submission, the offer is displayed in the general table and is immediately available for searching and comparison.

2. Search and Filters (for buyers)

Users looking for products can apply targeted filters to display only the offers of interest:

  • Type of product (grain or flour).
  • Type of cereal.
  • Production method and type of milling.
  • Region of origin.
  • Maximum price and minimum W strength value.

The results are dynamically updated, allowing for clear and immediate consultation.

3. Quantity Selection and Quote Calculation

Each offer displays the price, packaging, and availability.
The buyer can indicate the desired quantity in kilograms and, by pressing Calculate Quote, receives:

  • an automatic summary with details of the selected lines,
  • the total amount,
  • the ability to export data in JSON or CSV for management and internal records.

The system displays the result in a dedicated container with the class result, and includes quick buttons to copy or download the data in various formats.

FAQ

1. Who can use this app?
It is designed for farms, mills, cooperatives, and laboratories that sell or buy grain and flours. It can also be used by buying groups and individuals interested in local products.

2. Do I need to register to publish an offer?
No. Offers are entered locally in the form and remain visible during the session. For versions with databases or user management, the app’s logic can be extended.

No, they are indicative. The system generates an informative quote: the final price must be agreed directly with the producer.

4. Can I export offers or quotes?
Yes. The integrated buttons allow downloading data in CSV or JSON format, or copying it directly to the clipboard for sharing.

5. What does the W value represent in the table?
The W value indicates the strength of the flour, that is, the ability to form a stable gluten network. It is a useful parameter for selecting flours based on the type of fermentation.

6. Can I enter gluten-free flours or alternative cereals?
Yes. The app includes free fields for cereals and notes to indicate variants such as rice, oats, legumes, or customized blends.

7. How can I contact producers?
After generating the quote, the user can copy the results and send them via email or through the producer’s contact channel.

8. Is this app compliant with traceability regulations?
The app is intended for informational and internal management purposes: it does not replace official records or mandatory paperwork, but supports transparency and data management in the supply chain.
