| dc.description.abstract | The price fluctuation of vegetables
is one of the economic problems faced by
every country, including Sri Lanka. Many
factors such as environmental conditions as
well as supply, demand, social, cultural, and
political situations of the country cause the
price of vegetables to fluctuate. In this study,
the Waikato Environment for Knowledge
Analysis (WEKA) tool and association based
Apriori algorithms used to identify the most
influential factors that affect price
fluctuation. Results show that the low supply
from cultivation areas is caused by an
increased vegetable price and favourable
supply from cultivation areas is caused by
decrease vegetable price. Prices of vegetable
varieties demonstrated mixed movements
because of supply variability from respective
areas. The findings of this study can be used
by farmers to make their production plans,
customers to plan their budget, and sellers to
make their marketing plans. | en_US |
