Predicting Climate Change Effects on Commodity Prices

Sustainability and Supply Chains

Climate change is causing unprecedented variability in agricultural yields, disrupting supply chains and driving volatility in commodity prices. Predicting these effects is crucial for sustainable procurement.

Modeling Yield Variability

In the Genpact-Google Sustainability Hackathon, I developed models using Extra Trees and Random Forest Regressors to forecast cotton yields based on changing climatic conditions.

Strategic Procurement

By accurately anticipating yield drops, organizations can adjust their procurement and pricing strategies dynamically, mitigating risks and ensuring supply chain resilience in the face of global warming.
