Abstract
Mango holds a significant place globally. Considering its importance, it is also called 2 the king of fruits. Accurate price forecasting is essential for market decisions, policy 3 formulation, and agricultural market stability. Traditional time series models struggle 4 to provide effective and accurate forecasts of Mango prices and cannot capture their 5 nonlinear dynamics. The current study integrates machine learning, deep learning, and 6 statistical models to build a robust forecasting model using a dataset from 2001 to 2025. This 7 study proposed a novel attention-based Mango price forecasting approach. It significantly 8 forecasted Mango prices in the Indian market. It combines the strengths of various models 9 and produces generalized results. The hybrid ETS + ANN + GARCH model has high 10 predictive accuracy (MAE = 0.0498, MSE = 0.0106, RMSE = 0.1028, R2 209 = 0.774) and 11 ETS+SVM Hybrid achieves the accuracy level (MAE = 0.063, MSE = 0.006, RMSE = 0.078, 12 R2 = 0.873). The performance of ETS + BiLSTM is also significant, with an accuracy level 13 97.5%. Thus, an attention-based approach offers a new technological paradigm for mango 14 price forecasting.

1. Introduction

Mangoes are an important part of Indian agriculture and the country’s horticulture economy, having a big impact on market activity and farm income [1,22]. This study uses time-series modelling techniques to estimate and project mango modal prices for 23 Indian states through 2035. In horticulture, price forecasting is essential for enhancing supply-chain planning, lowering post-harvest losses, and facilitating prompt market interventions meant to stabilise prices [13,20]. For efficient policy development and regional agriculture planning, precise state-level pricing projections are especially crucial. Mango prices fluctuate significantly over time due to weather, production cycles, market connections, and policy changes because they are a high-value, seasonally produced horticultural crop [23,25]. Additionally, price behaviour varies significantly between states as a result of differences in institutional characteristics, market integration, and local production levels [13,22]. There is still a dearth of research that offers trustworthy and comparable long-term pricing projections across different Indian states, despite the fact that numerous studies have offered national-level or single-market price forecasts [22,36]. Current research frequently ignores structural variations between states or relies on short predicting horizons [13,23]. In order to close this research vacuum, the current work creates and assesses time-series models to produce long-term (up to 2035) state-wise mango modal price estimates for 23 Indian states. This would help farmers, traders, and policymakers make better decisions.

2. Problem Statement

Mango models prices in India fluctuate remarkable depending on a number of variables, such as market dynamics, seasonal variations, and meteorological conditions. Decisions about cultivation, storage, and marketing have been affected by the uncertainty these inconsistent fluctuate cause for farmers, traders, and legislators. The complicated non-linear and temporal character of price change is frequently avoided by traditional forecasting techniques. In order to accurately predict future mango prices using actual price data and relevant external factors, a robust and intelligent forecasting model must be developed. This study attempts to provide accurate long-term price forecasts to support improved market planning and policy formulation via the use of machine learning and statistical methods like ANN, GARCH, and ARIMAX models.
  • Main contributions of the paper
This foretelling contributes to the body of research on agricultural price forecasting by creating a mixed prediction framework that improve the accuracy of mango model price forecasts in India by combining ANN, GARCH, and ARIMAX models.For the purpose of to improve forecast accuracy and long-term dependency learning, an Attention-based mixed Model (Attention-LSTM) was used. The proposed hybrid approach captures both linear and non-linear dependencies as well as volatility clustering in price data, in contrast to traditional time series models that only center on linear patterns.To improve forecasting accuracy, the analysis also takes into account outside factors like weather patterns and seasonal patterns. In order to help farmers, traders, and policymakers make well-informed decisions about production, storage, and marketing policy, the study also offers a long-term price forecast through 2035. The effectiveness of the suggested model for predicting agricultural markets is proved by its superior performance in terms of MAE, MSE, RMSE, and R2 metrics.
i.
Development of Hybrid Models: Integrating Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Statistical Models.One model class—ANN, LSTM, or ARIMA—was typically utilised alone in previous analyses. This work introduces a hybrid, multi-family modelling framework that combines statistical (ARIMA/ETS), machine learning (SVM, Decision Tree), and deep learning (ANN, LSTM, BiLSTM) methods. Because of this integration, the model may collectively represent trend, seasonality, nonlinear patterns, and residual changes, increasing prediction accuracy.
ii.
A long-term, multi-state forecasting framework: In previous research that determined mango pricing (e.g., [11,20]) was limited to a single state and small market, or short forecasting period. For long-term economic analysis and national agriculture planning, these constrained scopes were inadequate. But the new study provides a comprehensive forecasting technique that encompasses 23 Indian states and anticipates until 2035.Thus, it one of the first nationally conducted long-term forecasting studies for a horticulture product in India. The model supports state-level policy design, procurement plan formulation, and supply chain oversight by offering extended predictions for all main mango-growing regions, hazardous decision-making, stabilised markets strategies, and optimisation. This broad geographical and temporal coverage significantly surpasses the capabilities of earlier research and establishes a new national benchmark for agricultural price forecasting.
iii.
Attention approach based mechanism: The LSTM and traditional RNN models were unclear. The analysis incorporates an Attention-LSTM, which allows the model to wisely focus on the most instructional historical time points. This is a significant methodological advancement in explainability and forecast accuracy.
iv.
Integrating Seasonal and Exogenous Factors: Unlike other studies that mostly relied on past pricing, this study includes seasonality indicators and environmental variables as exogenous elements. By allowing the models to learn seasonal shocks, climate effects, and cyclical oscillations, this improves long-term forecast dependability.
v.
Evaluation of Multi-Model Precision: The majority of previous analyses simply evaluated one or two models. This analysis offers a comprehensive quantitative evaluation of seven distinct models (ARIMA+DT, ANN, LSTM, GARCH, ETS+SVM, ETS+BiLSTM, Attention-LSTM) using industry-standard measures including MAE, MSE, RMSE, and R(square).
vi.
Novel ETS + BiLSTM and ETS + SVM Hybrid Architectures: In a mango price forecasting investigation, ETS decomposition has never been combined with cultivated nonlinear models such as SVM or BiLSTM. By decomposing the data into linear components (ETS) and using SVM or BiLSTM to model nonlinear residuals, the technique produces more precise and reliable predictions.
vii.
ETS + ANN + GARCH Forecasting with Volatility Awareness: Volatility clustering, a common feature of agricultural prices, was frequently disregarded in previous studies. By incorporating both stable trends and erratic market phases, the hybrid ETS + ANN + GARCH model produces uncertainty-aware forecasts that are crucial for risk-sensitive decisions.
viii.
Integrated Framework for Tracking Linear, Nonlinear, and Volatility Patterns: Previous study models were able to capture independent characteristics like trend, volatility, or nonlinearity. This approach is the first to combine trend using ARIMA/ETS, nonlinear patterns using ANN/LSTM/BiLSTM, and volatility using GARCH into a single, coherent forecasting method.
ix.
Efficient Interpretation for Farmers, Traders, and Policymaker: Modelling was the main issue with earlier analysis. This analysis demonstrates how stakeholders can use forecast prediction for proceeds planning, storage decisions, expenditure scheduling, and market stability strategies.

3. Previous Work

The studies importance:By generating similar long-horizon forecasts at the state level, the analysis adds to the body of literature and advantages supply chain participants, farmers, cooperatives, and market supervisors. prediction and model analytical help recognize states that are more vulnerable to price volatility and facilitate enhanced planning for price sustain, procurement, and storage process. Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Chandigarh, Goa, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, the National Capital Territory of Delhi, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and West Bengal are among the 23 states and union territories that are involved in the analysis. The research focuses on time-series foretelling techniques and limits its latitude to modal market price series (state-level aggregates). It does not conduct a thorough causal imputation to particular policy or agricultural interventions, although it does address potential drivers when suitable.

4.1. BOX -Jenkins Hybrid Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average(ARIMA) and( Decision Tree)Models

The stationarity of the data was carried out with Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Test (Unit root test) before being the implementation process steps of ARIMA .The ARIMA is one of the most traditional methods of non-stationary time series analysis(Box et al.,1994). The model is usually stated as ARIMA (p,q,d), where p denotes the order of autoregression, d denotes integration (differencing), and q denotes the moving average order.The Box and Jenkins propose a practical three-stage procedure for finding a good or best model: a) Identification b)Estimation of parameters

After Lag 4 or Lag 5, the PACF plot clearly cuts off to zero within the confidence band, with a strong, significant spike at Lag 1 ( 0.70 ). An Autoregressive (AR) process is identified by this unique pattern. Consequently, p = 4 or p = 5 is the initial, tentative order for the AR component (p) in an ARIMA model.

4.2. Long-Shrot-Trem Memory(LSTM) Model:

To studies the future mango model price until 2035 (Rs./Quintal A deep learning technique using the LSTM neural network architectonics was employed for time series analysis, which remained below Rs. 10,000/Quintal until about 2025. A period of hyper-volatility, marked by a approximately, almost vertical spike in the modal price, is directly projected by the LSTM forecast (in orange). By 2030, the price is awaited to have risen significantly from its historical range to exceed Rs. 80,000/Quintal. The price will stage and stabilize at this much elevated value through the predicted end date of 2035, according to the model, after this sharp and haste.

4.3. Hybrid Error Trend Seasonality(ETS)

The residue modelling principle, which deconstructs time series data, is the foundation of the ETS + SVM model: The analytical tool known as the ETS (Error, Trend, Seasonality) model is in charge of determine the linear and harmonious structural patterns in the historical price data, such as a congruous upward trend over an extended period of time or predictable seasonal variation. Support Vector Machine (SVM): It is assumed that the non-linear, irregular, or volatile patterns are included in the error component, which is the surviving fluctuation that ETS was unable to explain (referred to as the residuals). These intricate, non-linear residuals are then modelled and foretell using the SVM (used here for regression, or SVR).

The highest degree of risk is indicated by the Hybrid ETS + BiLSTM forecast. Its discovery of a price above Rs. 120,000/Quintal along with severe turbulence highlights how the sophisticated deep learning analysis reads recent market events as the start of a structural crisis in which supply shocks overwhelm market mechanisms, necessitating immediate policy action.

4.5. Attention-LSTM Model:

Methodological Perspective: The Attention mechanism’s ability to fit the historical irregularity quite well (Figure 2) supports its maximal prediction (Figure 1), proposing that the market’s non-linear, uncertain factors are accountable for the most articulate price, Among the numerous models, the Attention-LSTM model predicts the most extreme, super exponential price increase because it focus on the momentous points in the price chronicle The Narrative of Prediction: According to the model, the current price volatility—the "attention-worthy" event—is the beginning of a tragic, ongoing inflationary trend rather than a passing exception.Economic Danger: An maximal food security crisis for this goods is indicated by a price above Rs. 160,000/Quintal, which makes it expensive for almost all population fragments and calls for fast and forceful policy.

4.7. Hybrid Grach Model:

A model that predict severe price expansion between 2026 and 2035 is proposed by the overall investigation. Although the hybrid model’s GARCH component is used to estimate the unpredictability (prediction interval),the AIC/BIC analysis prefers GARCH(1,1) or GARCH(3,0); however, the GARCH(1,0) analysis has certain constraint when it comes to capturing volatility. The decision between the unalike GARCH orders eventually seems to have little practical effect on the 95% Prediction Interval.

5. Discussion

To predict the prices of mango modal across India, the research involved the use of advanced hybrid models that integrated time series, neural networks, and the volatility models to explain complex market trends. The Hybrid ETS + ANN + GARCH model used attained high predictive accuracy (MAE = 0.0498, MSE = 0.0106, RMSE = 0.1028, R2 = 0.774) after fitting trend-seasonality decomposition, nonlinear mapping and volatility modelling effectively. The GARCH component observed that recent historical shocks generally influence the price variations suggesting that the GARCH(1,0) model is most appropriate in the condition of capturing conditional volatility (MAE = 0.019, MSE = 0.001, RMSE = 0.026, R2 = 0.986). This further demonstrated the importance of relevant time-based relationships in forecasting prices. The strength of hybrid and deep learning methods in long-term price prediction has been established on the basis of close-to-perfect in-sample performance of other hybrid methods, including the ANN models and ARIMA + Decision Tree.Based on these results, it is possible to justify the inclusion of linear, nonlinear, and volatility-sensitive components in the hybrid approach capable of forecasting price changes in mangoes and providing traders, farmers, and policymakers with valuable information. The significance of exogenous variables in future models is explained by the fact that deviations may still be caused by such external factors as extreme weather, change of policy, and pest outbreaks.
  • This analysis is play significant role in area of horticultural market in India (national) and international market.It goes beyond the typical emphasis on single models and image-based classification to provide a comprehensive solution for managing market risk.
  • Previous research relied on a large number of combined forecasting models based on traditional methods, whereas a single deep learning forecasting model has emerged.
  • Specifically, this frame may simultaneously detect trend-seasonality disintegration (ETS), non-linear mapping (ANN), and volatility modelling (GARCH).
  • This analysis tell us we can use deep learning models like Attention -LSTM the use of deep learning in this sector by abstracting deeper insights from temporal data.
  • This analysis effectively built an integrated hybrid ETS+ANN+GRACH model.
  • Mango model price forecasting is highly relevant and can help us make better decisions.

6. Conclusion

This paper explores the strength of hybrid modeling methodologies in mango price prediction by analysis the time series data of twenty five years of twenty three states of Indian agriculture market. The Hybrid ETS + ANN + GARCH and Attention-LSTM along with other hybrid models found both trend-seasonality patterns and price volatility and kept on creating very precise forecasts. Although the GARCH factor considered the volatility of the market, the Attention mechanism among them contributed to the better interpretation of the market and helped traders to optimise their commercial tactics and farmers to plan their cultivation and storage more effectively due to the expected trends. ETS+Bi-LSTM , Hybrid Grach to check its wider application. Moreover, it has been noted that additional neural-network combinations may work better in different regions, which certainly makes efforts like this worthwhile in terms of enabling flexible decision-making with creative and representative modeling tools. Thus, this paper presents a novel approach for forecasting the mango prices and provides tools to enhance economic efficiency in the agricultural sector by facilitating policy formulation, managing market fluctuations, and optimizing resource allocation. This analysis will inspire further research on the applications of hybrid models in Mango pricing forecasting. This study also has some limitations. Due to the limitations of the available data, the time series and hybrid methodologies are constrained. It does not include other external factors such as soil fertility, weather, production levels, supply and demand, and the Mango inflation rate. In the future, the model can be strengthened by incorporating more variables and analyzing the Mango market prices more dynamically. It is expected that the developed forecasting model not only benefit market participants and agricultural policymakers but also significantly contribute to decision-making in the agricultural sector.
