A forecasting support system for aquatic products price in China

摘要

Aquaculture plays a very important role in adjusting Agricultural structure and increasing farmers' income. But the technological advances in the production and storage of fishery products have exceeded the development of effective market demand over the past one decade. As a result, participants within the fishery industry have frequently found themselves facing increased variable and declining prices negatively affected the fishery industry. So it is desirable to provide decision aids to price forecasting to avoid such market imbalance. An aquatic products price forecasting support system (APPFSS) was developed by China agricultural University. Based on questionnaire and interviews, we analyze the decision problems and user needs. Then the architecture and development of APPFSS were described. At last we discussed on problems we had encountered during development and promotion.
