Abstract
Effective sales prediction is crucial for agro-dealers to avoid having obsolete stock or running out of essential products during peak seasons. This fact sheet outlines a structured approach to predicting agri-input sales by answering key questions that guide agro-dealers in managing their stock. The process begins with understanding which crops are grown in the region and the specific activities performed for each crop throughout the season. By identifying the products needed at different stages of crop development, agro-dealers can accurately estimate stock requirements. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of knowing the affordability of products for farmers and the timing of orders to ensure stock availability. With a focus on practical steps and tools like timeframes and visual aids, the guide equips agro-dealers with strategies to predict demand effectively, ensuring they meet the needs of their customers without overstocking or understocking.
