In monarchy agricultural technology, this research pioneers the classification of freshness in root vegetables, a field that has been abruptly neglected in earlier research on a variety of vegetables. This study addresses this research gap and employs a transfer learning-based system to swiftly determine the freshness of root vegetables through images. To conduct this research, we create our own dataset which contains six different vegetables, “Potato”, “Radish”, “Carrot”, “Onion”, “Taro”, and “Turnip”. Vegetables were collected from the local market and clicked manually by personal mobile phone, giving the dataset authenticity and real-world application. In total we collect 6384 images, divided into 3 classes: “Fresh”, “Aged” and “Rotten” based on their physical attributes and texture. Different types of transfer learning model VGG19, ResNet50, InceptionResNetV2 and DenseNet201 used to classify freshness of root vegetables. Although every model achieved decent accuracy, DenseNet201 achieved a remarkable result. DenseNet201achived highest accuracy 98.75% where data loss was 0.02%. Conversely, though ResNet50 achieved lowest accuracy 60.97% among all models. The variety of algorithms used seeks to determine the best course of action for this particular agricultural setting in addition to precisely classifying freshness. This research not only defines a novel benchmark but also sets the stage for future explorations in agricultural technology, ushering in a new era of precision farming for root vegetables
