The success of getting accurate insights for
agriculture, particularly for rice yield prediction, heavily
depends on the quality and inclusiveness of the underlying
data. For accurate predictions, datasets must encompass a
range of variables that effects crop growth and yield, such

practices, and environmental factors. Below are the core Fig 2: Rainfall trends over years

 Climate Variables: Seasonal data on
temperature, precipitation and wind speed are
crucial as these factors directly affect rice growth

are pivotal for assessing risks of drought or
