❓ Frequently Asked Questions

MandiBhav Intelligence is an AI-powered agricultural intelligence platform built for everyone across the agri-supply chain—from farmers and small mandi traders to large-scale commodity buyers, food processors, exporters, AgTech startups, and financial institutions. The platform provides real-time mandi prices, arrival volumes, ML-driven Sell/Hold market insights, crop health diagnostics, and logistics route optimization. Whether you are a farmer deciding when to harvest, a trader managing daily volume, an enterprise sourcing raw materials, or an AgTech team integrating market data via APIs, MandiBhav Intelligence delivers the actionable insights needed to maximize profit, reduce spoilage, and de-risk agricultural decisions.

The Sell/Hold alerts use historical Agmarknet data, seasonal patterns, upcoming festivals, weather forecasts, and current arrival trends to generate recommendations. While no prediction is 100% accurate due to market volatility, they help avoid selling at the bottom and capture better prices. Many users report 10-30% better realization when following strong Sell signals.

Pro and Premium subscribers have access to ML-powered disease detection alerts. Our system analyzes 2-year weather patterns and historical data to predict disease risks for crops like Potato, Tomato, and Wheat across India. The system uses established models from agricultural research (ICAR, BLITECAST, Indo-Blightcast) to assess disease risk based on weather conditions such as temperature and humidity. It provides risk levels (High, Medium, Low) with probability percentages, helping you take preventive action before diseases develop. You can select a crop and state on the Disease Detection page to view real-time risk assessments and receive recommendations based on current weather conditions.

The route optimizer is primarily built for small traders and aggregators who collect produce from multiple farmers and deliver to mandis or buyers. Farmers who transport their own produce occasionally can also use it for fuel/time savings, but it's most valuable for those making multiple daily trips.

Subscribers can add a crop to price alert by going to the crop page and then clicking on the bell icon next to the crop name.

You can update your preferred mandi location in two ways: 1. From the crop page: Click on the bell icon next to any crop name, and in the modal that opens, select or change your preferred mandi. This will update the preferred mandi for all your crops. 2. From your profile page: Go to 'My Profile' and click on the mandi location link in the 'Preferred Mandis' section. This will open a modal where you can change your preferred mandi location. Note: The preferred mandi you set applies to all crops, so changing it in one place will update it for all your price alerts.

MandiBhav Intelligence uses a proprietary multi-modal machine learning engine that processes five core layers of agricultural data: • Satellite Earth Observation: All-weather Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and multi-spectral imagery to track district-level crop health, acreage, and phenology independent of cloud cover. • 10-Year Market Archives: Granular daily price, arrival volume, and seasonal volatility patterns across 4,000+ APMC Mandis in India. • Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI): Ingestion of official seed distribution data, UPAg statistics, and State Horticulture Department records. • Micro-Climate Arrays: High-resolution historical weather logs, localized rainfall predictions, and soil moisture stress indexes. • Supply Chain & Trade Telemetry: Real-time FPO cold storage stock levels, cross-border trade flows, and quick-commerce demand trends. By fusing these inputs, our predictive models generate 14 to 60-day price trajectories and arrival forecasts calibrated against physical Crop Cutting Experiments (CCE ground truth). The platform then delivers tailored outputs—ranging from Sell vs. Hold alerts and inter-Mandi arbitrage signals for farmers and traders, to district supply-glut heat maps for state governments and corporate procurement teams.

No, MandiBhav Intelligence is not a trading platform. We are an ML-powered agricultural intelligence and decision support platform. We provide data-driven insights, price predictions, and sell/hold recommendations to help farmers and traders make better decisions about when to sell their crops. We do not facilitate actual buying or selling of commodities - we help you understand market trends and timing to maximize your profits when you sell through traditional mandi channels.

MandiBhav Intelligence uses a state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm. Our models are trained on 10 years of historical data including daily crop prices, arrival volumes, and weather data from over 4000 mandis across India. Our model is particularly effective for time-series forecasting and pattern recognition, making it ideal for predicting agricultural commodity price movements and generating accurate sell/hold signals for farmers and traders.

MandiBhav Intelligence offers several advantages over basic mandi price apps: • ML-Powered Predictions: Unlike simple price display apps, MandiBhav Intelligence uses Machine Learning to predict future prices and provide sell/hold recommendations. • Comprehensive Historical Data: We have 10 years of historical data (prices, arrivals, and weather) - the largest dataset compared to competitors. • Mandi-Level Precision: Coverage of 4000+ mandis with localized disease alerts and price predictions. • Decision Support: We don't just show prices - we help you decide WHEN to sell for maximum profit. • Integrated Features: Disease detection alerts, route optimization, and weather-based risk assessment all in one platform. While basic mandi price apps show current prices, MandiBhav Intelligence provides actionable intelligence to help farmers and traders make profitable decisions.
