University, Isulan Campus, Isulan, Sultan Kudarat .

ADVISER: ALEXIS D. APRESTO, MIT

The study entitled “Mobile – Based Buy and Sell Transaction

Processing System” was developed to convert manual transaction to web-

mobile based information system to cater the buy and sell transaction processing

system. Specifically, this study aims to develop features that can manage all the

users account, facilitate the buy and sell of products; approved and declined

farmer production sell and purchases of products, and accept farmers payment.

How, the system allow the user to submit rice crop production of farmer to scaler,

xvi
manage rice crop sales, accept payment and likewise the study can generate

reports such as list of products, list of farmers, payment receipt, sales and

inventory, income statement and statistical reports in monthly saleable products.

The system development was facilitated using the agile methodology with

six (6) phases namely: plan, design, build, test, review and launch. During the

evaluation the development and descriptive evaluate methods were utilized by

proponents.

The researchers therefore concluded that the system Mobile – Based Buy

and Sell Transaction Processing System was successfully developed to present

a new tool in transaction to convert manual transaction process system to mobile

based process. This system of great help to improved transaction processing

system.

Chapter I
INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Farmers work hard to achieve good rice crop production and to have

enough of income nor increase of income. Many farmers fail because of lack of

information, weak performance of agricultural markets system, also constrained

by many factors such as: poor quality of agricultural produce, lack of market

facilities, weak extension service which ignored marketing development and

absence of marketing information. Farmers is the only one who made paddy rice

and rice is one of our daily needs. Giving them enough and right justice

information for every agricultural market is much easier and more convenient for

them.

Increasing attention has been given to raising commodity prices due to its

negative effects on poverty and undernutrition. An example of this problem are

the growing rice prices in 10 Philippines, which are causing high living expenses

to the population across the country. To assess the competitiveness of agro-food

chains, price transmission has been used as an indicator of market integration.

(Chaudhary et al., n.d.)

Impacts on traded goods consumption, wage income, farm and non-farm

family enterprise income, and government transfers, these welfare effects differ

across the distribution. The benefits of trade liberalization in terms of income and

the costs of trade liberalization in terms of inequality are quantified for each

1
country, and the trade-offs between them are assessed using an Atkinson social

welfare index.(Artuc et al., 2019)

In addition, farmers have the right to choose agricultural markets depend

on the price that the agricultural markets offer. Improving marketing facilities for

agricultural crops in general and rice sector in particular enable farmers to plan

their production more in line with market demand, to schedule their harvests at

the most profitable times, to decide which markets to send their produce to and

negotiate on a more even footing with traders. Besides, a proper rice marketing

system is also enables, to increase production and market efficiency

Today, real-time information can be delivered within a few minutes. Data

is no longer limited to prices, but may also include information relating to trade

(local trade flows, imports and exports, contacts of buyers or sellers, etc.), and to

production and policy measures.

The challenge that is facing rural development is inefficiency in agricultural

markets, wherein farmers lacking information about the markets for their crops

and therefore selling in local markets at suboptimal prices. A user-friendly and

convenient web-based is the key to support the farmer and agricultural markets.

With these problems and recommended solutions for the business, the

researchers will design and develop a platform to address the problem that will

make them more convenient, fast and easiest way of managing and processing

of business transactions the study entitled “Mobile Base Buy and Sell

Transaction Processing System” which is a mobile base design primarily for

Faeldonia Buy and Sell and would help the farmer in convenient way.

2
Furthermore, it depends on the both person whether they will continue the

process or not due to some conditions and needs to considered.

Objectives of the Study

General Objective

Generally, this study aimed to developed and evaluated the study entitled

“Mobile Base Buy and Sell Transaction Processing System”. This system will

address the lack of trade information (buyer or seller contacts, price per variety

seedling, and crop production price), as well as policy initiatives. It will alter in the

sense that farmers will have access to much more information like trade and

prices, which will be helpful for both farmer and the business.

Specific Objectives

Specifically, this study aims to:

1. Allow the administrator to manage users’ account, product, farmer’s,

scaler information.

2. Allow farmer to buy and sell rice crop products.

3. Allow the administrator to approved or declined farmer production sell and

purchased products.

4. Enable the administrator to accept farmer payment.

5. Allow admin to submit rice crop production sale of farmer to scaler.

6. Allow the scaler to manage rice crop sales information.

7. Enable the farmer to accept payment.

3
8. Generate reports such as, list of products, list of farmers, payment receipt,

sales and inventory report, income statement, statistical reports (monthly)

saleable products.

9. Evaluate the system in terms of functionality, accessibility, and accuracy.

Significance of the Study

This study entitled “Mobile Based Buy and Sell Transaction Processing

System” Is beneficial to the following:

To the Business Owner

This information system will help the business owner to have an easy and

fastest selling and purchase product, advertising of their product, monitor the

products sales and market position to gain competitive advantage among other

competitors.

To the Employees

This study will help them to lessen their work load and will increase the

productivity of the business. The employee can easily monitor availability of the

products during sales and can update the supply by physically counting the stock

items on a frequent basis also can manage easily the purchased product.

To the Farmer

4
This new information system will be more convenient and provides a

useful and convenient platform to buy and sell products and services at

presumably better prices. They can use search engines and price comparison

sites which significantly reduce search costs, to find and compare many different

offers for the same rice products.

To the Researchers

This study will help the researchers to know the importance of technology

in the chosen business. It helps them understand the nature and procedure of

the existing system of recording system. It makes them to compare the

advantages and disadvantages of manual system to the computerized one. It

gives them an idea of switching manual and traditional system into technology-

based system for business transactions.

To the Future Researchers

This will help them in their studies as references and basis in gathering

data to develop this system and to improve its features.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

This study aimed to developed the study entitled “Mobile Based Buy and

Sell Transaction Processing System”. This system provides interfaces for

administrator, employees and customers. Specifically, it has the following

features:

5
Allow administrator to manage users’ account, product, farmer’s,

scaler information. In the administrator interface, the administrator can access

their interface by having an account on the system; this user can manage users’

accounts, it can perform add, update, delete and search account information.

The assigned administrator can also modify users’ accounts for its security

purposes. The assigned administrator can administer product information, view

farmer’s information and scaler information. The buy and sell owner as

administrator or the assigned employee can administer product information such

as variety of rice, price, quantity, and status. The user can also manage farmer’s

and scaler information; the system provides registration for farmer before it can

order and sell products. It will allow farmers to have an account on the system for

business transactions.

Allow farmer to buy and sell rice crop products. In the farmer’s

interface, when a farmer buys a product from a business, such as rice seedlings

or milled rice they must log in to the system and click the button to buy a

products then after that they will chose what variety they want either seedlings or

milled rice then submit after that the admin will get notified of all the products in a

receipt form then it depends on the business whether they will accept it or not,

after accepting farmer buys product it will get notified the farmer of buys product

with a receipt, the receipt represent as proof of legitimacy where if the farmer will

get those buy products farmer should show the receipt and then pay those

products. Moreover, if a farmer sells rice crop product, it is up to the business

6
enterprises to decide whether they will accept the rice crop product due to

product variety, then if it is accepted it will associate with the scaler.

Allow the administrator to approve or decline farmer production sell

and purchased products. In this interface, the administrator will be the one to

approved or declined farmer production sell and purchased by viewing the

production sell and purchased products of the farmer, whereas, the farmer could

not process directly it should be approved by the administrator in order to

process constantly the product either buy or sell.

Enable the administrator to accept farmer payment. In this interface,

after the farmer buys a product, the system will automatically process the total

computation of all product buy of the farmer the computation will be submit to

farmer wherein they should show to the business enterprise if they will get their

buy product and pay it to the business enterprises. After that the business

enterprises will back to the system and click the accept farmer payment in order

to close the transaction. The mode of payments for the buy products will be

through Cash-to-Cash.

Allow admin to submit rice crop production sale of farmer to scaler.

In this user interface after the farmer gets accepted of rice crop production sale

the admin will be the one to submit that information regarding to rice crop

production of the farmer to the scaler in order for the scaler to get notify where

will be the rice crop production of the farmer and scaler will manage those rice

crop production sale to get the total crop production sale.

7
Allow the scaler to manage rice crop sales information. Scaler will get

notify of farmer’s rice crop sales wherein scaler should manage all the rice crop

production of farmer’s where scaler should take charge of the deduction of every

sacks. Scaler contains information (variety, farmer’s name, price, status, mode of

selling, quantity of sacks, deduction per sacks, gross, tare, net) It also needs to

generate the whole process in order to generate the total tally and notified the

administrator of the official receipts wherein administrator should submit the

official receipt to farmers.

Enable the farmer to accept payment. Wherein in the farmer’s interface

they will get notified that contains the payment information contains (OR number,

farmer’s name, variety, price, sacks, mode of selling, total kilograms, overall

deduction, deduction per sacks, total. In order to close the transaction, it needs to

click the accept payment after the farmer hand in the money, it is cash to cash

basis.

Generate reports such list of products, list of farmers, payment

receipt, sales and inventory report as well as income statement Statistical

reports using Pie Graph (monthly) saleable products. The following reports

can be viewed and generated by the system in text reports and graphical format

type of reports.

Furthermore, the system’s functionality, accessibility and accuracy will be

evaluated by the chosen respondents with business owner, employees and

farmer’s by having an evaluation questionnaire prepared by the researchers.

8
This research study will be conducted at Sultan Kudarat State University –

Isulan Campus and it will be pilot tested specifically at Faeldonia Buy and Sell,

Norala, South Cotabato.

“Mobile Base Buy and Sell Transaction Processing System”.

Review of Related Literature


These reviews consist of books, articles, documents that focus on those

subject matter or other concepts of the study.

Innovation of agricultural economic management in the process of

constructing smart agriculture by big data

Agriculture, which is usually mentioned in big data of agriculture, must

cover three levels, namely, rural areas, agriculture and farmers. It is

characterized by wide coverage, wide range of related fields and contents,

many influencing factors, complex data collection and difficult decision

management.

Specifically, According to (Su & Wang, 2021) agricultural big data should

include links such as farmland, breeding, sowing, fertilization, plant protection,

12
harvest, storage, transportation, agricultural product processing, marketing,

animal husbandry production and cross-industry and professional data

analysis.

Agriculture is not only an ideal application field of big data, but also an

important information source of big data. The combination of big data and

agriculture has changed the situation that traditional agricultural production

lacks data support. Through the combination of the Internet and computer

information technology, it has changed the industrial weaknesses of China’s

agriculture, such as highly decentralized, small-scale production, large space

and time changes, weak scale, low stability and controllability.

Smart agriculture is including Internet of things by comprehensive

perception, reliable transmission, intelligent processing, such as technical

support, to promote the agricultural industry and the whole process of

intelligent, automatic production, optimal control, intelligent management,

logistics and electronic trading system as the main production methods, aimed

at the most efficient use of agricultural resources, reduce agricultural cost and

energy consumption, reduce the destruction of the agricultural ecological

environment, to the overall optimal production of agricultural system, high

efficiency, low consumption, high quality, ecology and safety of modern

agriculture development mode and form.

Formation of information and organizational system of management and

accounting by fixed assets of agricultural enterprises

13
In today's market conditions, skillful and careful organization of the process

of management and accounting in the agricultural sector of the economy

becomes an essential factor in the efficient and rational use of fixed assets.

Therefore, well-organized management and accounting of fixed assets at

agricultural enterprises should be a holistic, unified system of interconnected,

mutually agreed ways and methods.

According to (Matviychuk, 2020) an important achievement in this regard will

be the creation of software products that allow you to quickly process

information and respond instantly to the needs of management. Accordingly,

work on their creation requires appropriate research in the future.

Innovation management practices: analysis of small family farmers on

the border

According to (Diaz-Villavicencio, 2020) to focus on the innovation practices

of small family businesses (rural farmers) living in border areas. Previous

studies on small rural businesses have a low level of knowledge of innovation

practices. The author acknowledges that technological innovation affects small

farmers and it has a positive impact on the company’s performance. The

proposal is to analyze the contribution of innovation practices in a group of

small rural farmers that have similar characteristics in border countries.

Agricultural Market Development: Trends and Prospects

14
The solution to the food problem in the Russian Federation largely depends

on the formation and development of the agri-food market that is a system of

socio-economic relations on exchanging agricultural raw materials, food and

resources, and ensuring reproduction in the agro-industrial complex (AIC). It

directs producers on manufacturing agricultural products and food demanded

by buyers, ensures the efficient allocation of material and technical resources,

helps to improve the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises, and meets the

consumers’ needs in raw materials and food. Production costs are reimbursed,

profit is earned by each adequately working producer, incentives are created for

reducing costs, and the quality of products is improved by means of the

markets. (Minakov & Nikitin, 2019)

The agri-food market has certain features influencing the production and

commercial activity of producers:

 Demand for food almost does not respond to price changes,

 Seasonal fluctuation in the supply of agricultural products, which is associated

with the peculiarities of agricultural production.

 Fluctuation of prices for agricultural products during the calendar year, which

is due to its uneven supply, A lot of perishable products; this increases the

need in storage facilities and their sale in a very short time,

 Involving intermediaries to sell agricultural products in cities, which re-duces

the producers’ income, State regulation of prices in the agri-food market,

taking into account the solvent demand of the population

15
When organizing production and commercial activities, it is necessary to

take into account the above features of the agri-food market and to use new

approaches in promoting agricultural products and food from producer to

consumer.

The efficiency of agricultural production is determined by the commercial

activity of producers. The underdeveloped market infrastructure and the

existing economic mechanism do not allow timely and loss-free selling of

products. Under these conditions, the relevance of studies related to selling

agricultural products and food based on the agri-food market development is

growing.

The impact of innovation on the performance of small-to-medium informal

metal-trade enterprises

According to (Makate et al., 2019) plays a fundamental role in the supply of

intermediate agricultural technologies. The seemingly never-ending economic

crisis has arguably contributed to the collapse of the formal industrial sector

resulting in a shortage of farming technologies especially amongst small-scale

farmers whose numbers increased exponentially post the agrarian reform in

2000.

However, innovation capabilities by informal entrepreneurs and overall firm

performance are critical elements for eventual impact of the sector to the

farming community.

16
Also, policies that promote acquisition of cheap entrepreneurial skills and a

favorable business climate that supports innovation might help to steer

economy out of trouble.

Review of Related Studies

Effective management system of rice processing industry

According to (Rachmat et al., 2019) Unbalance ratio between rice plant area

and number of rice’s milling unit causes tight business competition on its

business so it has low productivity and profitability. Measures for enhancing

productivity need to be taken. There are some similarity situations between

Indonesia and Korea related to rice consumption and industry. Objectives of

this study are to conduct comparative study between Indonesian and Korean

rice industry and arrange recommendations about providing stable paddy

supply for the rice processing industry in Indonesia.

Trading off the income gains and the inequality costs of trade policy

According to (Artuc et al., 2019) the trade-off between the income gains and

the inequality costs of trade using survey data for 54 developing countries.

Tariff data on agricultural and manufacturing goods are combined with

household survey data on detailed income and expenditure patterns to estimate

the first-order effects of the elimination of import tariffs on household welfare

These welfare effects vary across the distribution by estimating impacts on

the consumption of traded goods, wage income, farm and non-farm family

17
enterprise income, and government transfers. For each country, the income

gains and the inequality costs of trade liberalization are quantified and the

trade-offs between them are assessed

Atkin, Faber and Gonzalez-Navarro (2018) investigate the distribution of the

household welfare effects from FDI. Another branch of the literature examines

distributional effects in an Arkolakis.

Information systems in agricultural enterprises

The development of information and communication technologies (ICT) is

currently conditioned by the development of industry, society and many other

factors.

There is still a low level of the Business intelligence introduction among

businesses, which could be explained by low level of information about the

software

According to (Látečková et al., 2018) the ever-increasing trend of ICT

development is directly connected with the agricultural enterprises. ICT play

important roles in the development of these enterprises and automation of their

processes.

Revitalization of financing and budgets, dynamically evolving strong

competitive environment and growing regulation lead to ever growing need for

swift reactions and making precise decisions in all institutions and

organizations, including manufacturing and agricultural organizations.

Access to the right information in the right time is crucial for every subject.

There are several fundamental areas for modern agricultural enterprises. All

18
processes carried out in agricultural enterprises need to be planned and

managed; automation of the processes via suitable information systems brings

significant competitive advantages and strengthened market positions.

Enterprise resource planning systems are convenient in this respect.

Rice Price Transmission between Wholesalers and Retailers in the

Philippines

Rice price in Philippines is higher in comparison with other major rice

producing Asian countries such as Vietnam, Thailand and China. The largest

sources of higher rice price in the Philippines are the costs for transportation,

milling, packaging, working capital and import restriction.

The PhiRice also said that the gross marketing margin (GMM) is higher at

the different stages of rice supply chain in Philippines, and it is due to the high

costs of marketing and the enormous returns to trade management. The rice

prices in Philippines have fluctuated dramatically in the last decade, with

consumers facing increasingly high prices that reached exceptional levels

before falling during the financial crisis over the second half of 2007 and first

half of the 2008.

According to (Morales et al.., 2018), imperfections in price transmission are

factors that have contributed to exacerbate price fluctuations of food

commodities due to the lack of incentives transmitted to chain actors for

markets adjust to shocks in supply and demand.

19
Producers/wholesalers when increase prices, the retailers instantly and

completely increase their prices to maintain their normal profit margins, but

when producers/wholesalers decrease prices, the retailers keep constant their

prices or takes time to reduce prices to capture higher profit margins

(Schroeder, 1988; Vavra & Goodwin, 2005). Swinnen and Vandeplas (2014)

argued that consumers in developing countries are hurt by increasing food

prices, while producers are not benefiting from high prices for their products,

increasing poverty and hunger. (Chaudhary et al., n.d.)

Market imperfections in agro-food markets are more prevalent in developing

countries compared to developed countries (Morales, 2018). Imperfections in

price transmission are due to several factors such as market power, processing

and marketing costs, costs of transportation, government intervention, and

product homogeneity and differentiation, in addition to market failure.

In this regard of price transmission, this study suggests that the different rice

markets have distinct competitiveness in Philippines, and the policy makers

require to pay close attention in designing mechanisms other than traditional

transfer approaches from wholesale to retail level to increase the

competitiveness in the rice markets in the supply chain. Therefore, it can reduce

the food expenses to the all Filipinos and help to decrease a substantial number

of poor peoples across the Philippines.

Technological and Economic Factors Determining ICT Level: Evidence

from Rural Micro-Businesses in Democratic Republic of Congo

20
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the 11th largest country in the

world although wars have devastated the economics of the country. In this vast

but poor area, there are a lot of small businesses, particularly in agriculture.

Therefore, focusing on small enterprises and their use of Information and

Communication Technologies (ICT) can be a key issue in enhancing the

nation's infrastructure, communications, social relations and economy. (Perez-

Estebanez et al., 2018)

A new method of large-scale short-term forecasting of agricultural

commodity prices

There is an old saying that “food is the paramount necessity of the people”.

The price of agricultural commodity, which is an important necessity, is closely

related to people’s lives.

The fluctuation of agricultural commodity prices is affected by economic and

social factors. Therefore, accurate forecasting of price change trends can

instruct people’s consuming behaviors, and has great significance to some

heated social issues like predicting macroeconomic trend. There are various

agricultural commodities in the markets. The prices of agricultural commodities

can be influenced by many factors; even same commodity can be priced

differently in diverse markets.

According to (Wu et al., 2017) agricultural commodity prices are influenced

by a combination of factors, including supply–demand relationship, weather,

policy, etc.

21
These factors cannot be quantified by the same standard, and have different

influences on different agricultural commodities in different wholesale markets,

which brings great difficulty to the forecasting of agricultural commodity price.

Mobile-Based Buy and Sell Transaction Processing System Software

Development. Methodology was used to ensure satisfaction of the requirements

among existing computerized system. It was a methodology construction to make

sure that the requirements, planning, development and implementation, testing of

the system follows logical approach and technical ways.

Figure 2. Agile Software Development Methodology

The researchers provided a letter of permission to the business

establishment named Faeldonia Buy and Sell at Norala, South Cotabato, wherein

the study was conducted as an initial step. The researchers started from

identifying the requirements and determining the problem.

27
The researchers found out that the needs to enhance their current system

for buy and sell transactions were very important. The researchers created a

project title, formulated project objectives, scope and project schedules of the

project. The researchers recognized and identified the problems arising in the

design and development of the proposed system entitled Mobile Based Buy and

Sell Transaction Processing System.

Sprint 1 (Information Management.)

The researchers would plan and designed interface for administrator to

managed the product information about farmers and farmer’s information and

scaler information. In the development of the system, the researchers came up

with the design output of the proposed study, it has features where it can perform

add, edit, delete, update. The researcher follows its prototype to come up with

the feature. The researchers utilized the PHP5 server-side scripting language as

frontend and MySQL5.1 as backend. In the first objective the system will allow

the owner to manage the information input inside the system to test portion will

be conducted on the establishments and some participants of SKSU students.

On the review cycle the system would be tested on its compatibility and provide

solution into the business.

Sprint 2 (Farmer’s products and rice crop production)

28
The researchers would design and developed an interface for farmer

where user can register and login with their valid account on the system. After

login, the farmer can view available product and can place an order with this

development of the system, the researchers use the manual method as basis in

which the researchers gathered the information from the current system. It has

features where it can perform add, edit, delete, update. It will be tested after the

development of the system; the review phase will undergo afterwards.

Sprint 3 (Farmer’s production and purchased products.)

The researchers would plan, designed and developed an interface where

the administrator will notify farmers purchased product or farmers’ rice crop

production. In this development of the system, it has a feature where the user

can search and update information. The researchers came up with the design

prototype of the proposed study then applied the procedures. In this phase the

owner can evaluate the systems usefulness and its efficiency, the inventory and

deliveries data can be managed well and it can help the owner in terms of

decision making. The test phase will be conducted when the system is now on

this stage and be reviewed by the owner and its customer whether it solved the

issues presented.

Sprint 4 (Scaler rice crop sales information)

29
The researchers would plan, designed and developed an interface for

where user can manage rice crop production sales of farmer.

In this development of the system, the researchers use the manual

method as basis in which the researchers gathered the information from the

organization.

It has featured where it can manage the rice crop sales of the farmer by

clicking those intended deduction to their rice crop production sell of the farmer,

wherein it can perform to send information by clicking send button after they

finish the sacks through identifying the deduction every sacks. The researcher

follows its prototype to come up with the feature. The researchers came up with

the design output of the proposed study then applied the procedures based on

the flow of transactions.

The system will be tested by the end-users to ensure the satisfactions of

the system. The researcher will train the end-users how to use the system

properly.

Sprint 5 (Generated Reports)

Furthermore, the system provided the following generated reports such as

list of products, list of farmers, payment receipt, sales and inventory report,

income statement, statistical reports (monthly) saleable products. The

researchers will conduct a series of testing to check if there’s an error in the

system. When the system is already free from bugs or errors, it was evaluated

according to its functionality, acceptability, accessibility and accuracy to know if it

30
really meets the system requirements. The researchers will pilot tested the

system and will conduct a training procedure with the system users.
