Abstract

A transaction method includes: a production quantity acquisition step of acquiring a predicted production quantity of an agricultural product on a predetermined future date for each producer (P 1 ); a demand acquisition step of acquiring a predicted demand for the agricultural product on the predetermined date for each purchaser (P 2 ); and a matching step of performing matching between the predicted production quantity of each producer (P 1 ) and the predicted demand of each purchaser (P 2 ) on the predetermined date. The transaction method also includes a notification step of notifying a producer (P 1 ) for which the matching has been established of a delivery destination desired by a purchaser (P 2 ) for which the matching has been established, information of the agricultural product to be delivered, and the predetermined date.

1 . A transaction method for trading agricultural products between producers and purchasers executed by a transaction system, the transaction method comprising:

a production quantity acquisition step of acquiring a predicted production quantity of an agricultural product on a predetermined future date for each producer;

a demand acquisition step of acquiring a predicted demand for the agricultural product on the predetermined date for each purchaser;

2 . The transaction method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a price presentation step of presenting purchase prices for the agricultural product by the purchasers, wherein

in the matching step, in a case where there are predicted demands of a plurality of purchasers which are matched with a predicted production quantity of one producer, the producer is matched with a purchaser who has presented a highest purchase price among the plurality of purchasers.

3 . The transaction method according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein

at least one of a delivery distance from each producer to the delivery destination, a cost required for delivery, or energy consumed by delivery is acquired, and

in the matching step, matching between a predicted production quantity of each producer and a predicted demand of each purchaser on the predetermined date is performed on condition that at least one of the delivery distance, the cost required for delivery, or the energy consumed by delivery is minimized.

4 . The transaction method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a process availability information acquisition step of acquiring process availability information indicating whether the producer is capable of performing process processing on the agricultural product; and

in the matching step, matching is performed based on the process availability information and the desired process information.

5 . The transaction method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a process processing notification step of notifying a process processing unit that processes the agricultural product of information regarding process processing in a case where the purchaser wants the agricultural product to be processed, the agricultural product being delivered from the producer for which the matching has been established.

6 . The transaction method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a shelving suggestion step of suggesting shelving for increasing a demand of the purchaser in a case where the predicted production quantity is larger than the predicted demand.

7 . A transaction system for trading agricultural products between producers and purchasers, the transaction system comprising:

a production quantity acquisition unit that acquires a predicted production quantity of an agricultural product on a predetermined future date;

a demand acquisition unit that acquires a predicted demand for the agricultural product on the predetermined date for each purchaser;

a transaction control unit that matches the predicted production quantity with the predicted demand on the predetermined date; and

a notification unit that notifies a producer for which the matching has been established of a delivery destination desired by a purchaser for which the matching has been established, information of the agricultural product to be delivered, and the predetermined date.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a transaction program for causing a computer to function as the transaction system according to claim 7 .
