Demand forecasting is a critical component in production and supply chain management, especially in agribusiness, where the perishable nature of products, seasonal variations, and market fluctuations make accurate prediction essential. The primary objective of demand forecasting is to estimate future customer demand for agricultural products in order to make informed decisions regarding production planning, inventory management, procurement, and distribution. Accurate demand forecasting allows agribusinesses to optimize resource allocation, minimize waste, reduce stockouts, avoid overproduction, and enhance customer satisfaction. By understanding anticipated demand, firms can align their production schedules with market requirements, ensuring that the right quantity of produce reaches the market at the right time. Furthermore, forecasting supports financial planning and budgeting, enabling firms to anticipate revenue streams and plan investments in infrastructure, machinery, storage facilities, and transportation logistics. Another key objective is to improve supply chain efficiency. In agribusiness, production often depends on variables such as weather conditions, soil fertility, and seasonal cycles, making supply planning complex. By forecasting demand, businesses can coordinate with suppliers, farmers, and distributors to ensure a steady and timely supply of raw materials and inputs. This minimizes disruptions in production and maintains a consistent product flow through the supply chain. Demand forecasting also
