7. AI-Powered Price Predictions & "Sell Now vs Hold" Signals

Mandibhav uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help farmers make informed selling decisions while protecting user privacy.

7.1 Data Used for AI Predictions

We do not collect personal data for predictions. The AI uses only public, anonymized data:

  • Daily mandi prices (Agmarknet – Govt of India)
  • Daily arrivals (tonnes) (Agmarknet)
  • Weather data (Open-Meteo – global public API)
No personal information is used: we do not track location, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable data.

7.2 How Predictions Work

  • One AI model per crop (e.g., Wheat, Tur)
  • Trained on two years of historical data
  • Predicts tomorrow’s average mandi price
  • Generates "SELL NOW" or "HOLD" signal

7.3 Important Disclaimer

AI predictions are estimates, not guarantees.

This is NOT financial advice.

Mandibhav does not promise profits.

You are solely responsible for your selling decisions.

  • Predictions may be inaccurate due to sudden market changes, transport issues, or local events.
  • We do not execute trades or take commissions on sales.
  • Use AI signals along with your own judgment and mandi knowledge.

7.4 Accuracy & Limitations

  • Backtested accuracy: 68–76% (varies by crop)
  • Past performance does not guarantee future results.
  • Models are continuously improved using public data only.
