Naturally, this capability retains rich utilities for food supply chain stakeholders.
AI can do so through practicing the following means:
Economic Data Analysis.
Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Machine Learning Models: ML algorithms integrating regression analysis, decision trees, and neural networks for building predictive models.
Sentiment Analysis: Weighing global and social media, survey data, and industry newsletters.
Predictive Analytics: Through digesting a combination of historical data, economic indicators, and external factors such as geopolitical events or natural disasters.
Policy and Trade Risk Assessments: Domestically and internationally sourced macroeconomic and geopolitical data.
