Abstract
A deep learning methodology was utilized to predict the bulb weights of garlic and onions in the Jeolla Province of Korea. The Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) operates the Outlook & Agricultural Statistics Information System (OASIS) platform, which provides actual measurements of garlic and onions. We trained the Neural Prophet (NP) lagged time-series model using this data. The NP model effectively handles lagged variables and their covariates by inserting a hidden layer. Our results indicate that the NP model performed with around 5% mean absolute error in predicting bulb weights, with a gap of 3.3 g and 4.7 g with average weights of 63.7 g and 129.9 g for garlic and onions, respectively. This experimental research was based on only three years of measurement data. Hence, the gap between observed and predicted data can be reduced by accumulating more measurement data in the future.
