Impact of Predictive Analytics on Agricultural Innovation

This is a research project I conducted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for my Bachelor of business science in Financial economics. The agriculture industry accounts for a big percentage of the Gross Domestic Product of Kenya. This means that more farmers are willing to invest in different ways of helping their businesses operate more efficiently and increase their crop yields. This is where predictive analytics comes to play. Predictive analytics uses data and statistical modelling to make predictions about future outcomes based on historical data. Many studies in Kenya have focused on agricultural commercialization and the performance of particular agricultural sub-sectors in specific regions of the country and its effect on development. No study has considered examining how this performance could be improved through precision agricultural practices. Thus, the study investigated effective predictive analytics strategies aimed at minimising the losses caused by unpredictable food supply chains and volatility in the market thereby increasing market efficiency. In this research, recorded data consisting of historical tea spot prices collected from the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) was obtained and examined. Time series models were used for price prediction. Because volatility affects market prices, volatility models were used to assess the practicality of employing predictive analytics to hedge risk. The study established that the ARIMA (1,1,2) is the preferred model for predicting future tea prices showing desirable persistence of volatility. Thus, the study concluded that predictive models can be used to forecast prices which would help farmers and investors hedge their risk whether in trading or in the actual act of farming by providing accurate and reliable forecasts on future information.See More
