profoundly influenced the use of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) support in

Bangladesh depends on the agriculture sector.
Historically over the last 10-15 years, ICT has changed
the way of world works but on the other hand there has
not been a desirable change of agriculture sector in
Bangladesh. This study describes the design and
development of an online agricultural support system
that can bridge the gap between farmers and consumers
demands. This online system will act as a unique and
secure way to perform agro based marketing with
equipment renting. Also this web tools provides a
computerized farming system which has been
implemented as part of precision agriculture before
starting the cultivation process according to the area of
the cultivation land and the season. Here, Multiple
Linear Regression of machine learning algorithm is
used. This technique is used for forecasting rainfall,
average temperature of certain location, soil PH
level
and prediction based yield rate. Besides, farmers can
optimize on their agricultural activities such as
information about nearest preservation centers,
consulting with experts, comparison of current market
rate, awareness about latest technologies. It can ensure
