NPbazzar is a proposed mobile app that aims to address several problems in Nepal's vegetable and fruit market by providing consumers a digital marketplace. It would allow users to check pricing and availability of in-season local produce, avoiding issues with food coloring, storage/preservation and costly imports. The app would partner with grocers and nutritionists to offer promotional deals and health tips. It targets daily grocery shoppers, students, nutrition-focused individuals, families and those interested in market trends. The business strategy involves deploying the app code and generating revenue through partnerships and advertising local produce. Early feedback praised the concept for its potential to offer pricing updates, support nutrition and showcase seasonal variety.
