Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate smallholder farm systems in Rwanda using time-series forecasting models to predict technology adoption rates.
  • Employed ARIMA model for time-series data analysis
  • Analyzed data from Rwanda's Ministry of Agriculture
  • Forecasted adoption rate trends and calculated confidence intervals
  • ARIMA(2,1,0)[0] model effectively predicted adoption rates
  • 95% confidence interval around the mean forecast value
  • Findings provide valuable insights for future policy making and intervention planning

Abstract

Smallholder farming in Rwanda is a critical sector for agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods. The study employs ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average) model to analyse time-series data from Rwanda's Ministry of Agriculture. The ARIMA (2, 1, 0) 0 model showed an adoption rate trend with a confidence interval around the mean forecast value of 95%. ARIMA models effectively predict smallholder farm technology adoption over time in Rwanda, offering insights for policy makers and farmers. Continue monitoring trends using ARIMA analysis for future intervention planning.
