description ICT has revolutionized the way of doing business. Nowadays the use of ICT is present in different disciplines and areas of economy. In this paper it will be discussed theoritically and empirically on the advantages of ICT use in the field of agriculture. Considering the actual conditions that the Albanian farms operate in market today, applying a new web is proposed. Thus it will be possible for promotion to happen, which has been absent so far, as well as marking of product that is being made. The system allows every farmer to have access on it by creating a personal account. By using it, each farmer can do any marketing, give information on the product, set the price and compare his prices with the ones of his competitors in real time, deliver the product selling it directly to the last consumer or set links with mediators, and a farmer can even search the market by analysing the input data that the web receives. This multifunctional system, which enables the two way communication, will be set up by using the main programming language that is PHP. The programming is based on one template. The screens programming is based on html5 and CSS3 language. The database used is my SQL and its area of use is php my admin. The programming was made with waterfall model. Once using this system, the farmer comes out of isolation together with the product he offers and he can advertise the product at a low cost, as we think of offering this system for free, thus taking the first steps towards building a ‘win win’ system for the customer, who is introduced to the local products, with the product location, and with a farmer who is better informed on the market. But even the state as well as the regional agriculture institutions will have a clear image and a first step towards the agricultural products commerce, thus leaving behind a difficult situation for now and a long time in Albania with an agriculture sector growing but with few markets.
