Forecasting with ARIMA models for area under sugarcane cultivation in India

摘要: The importance of sugarcane cultivation coupled with fluctuations in area prompted this study which concludes that the total cropped area can be increased in future, even though a negative impact would be there in the year of 2018-2019. Hence, in that particular period the government will have to support to the sugarcane cultivators to increase the area of cultivation. The projection of ARIMA model shows that sugarcane will play a vital role to improve the sugar and byproducts production in the coming period in the country. The analysis shows that the forecasting performance could be increased.
