Name Student ID Signature Signature: Date: Signature of the Supervisor: Date: i ABSTRACT The King Coconut is a highly valuable crop in Sri Lanka, and its cultivation and export are vital for the country's economy. However, the cultivation and harvesting of King Coconuts require a great deal of skill and knowledge, which makes it challenging for small-scale farmers and exporters to compete with larger, more experienced players in the market. To address this issue, we propose the development of an AI and ML-based King Coconut Assistant, which will provide farmers and exporters with the necessary tools and information to improve their production and profitability. The King Coconut Assistant will be a user-friendly mobile application that will incorporate various AI and ML technologies to assist farmers and exporters in every stage of King Coconut cultivation, from planting to harvesting and marketing. The King Coconut Assistant will provide a range of features and services, including real-time weather information, pest and disease detection and prevention, yield forecasting, harvesting and marketing tips, and a marketplace for buyers and sellers. The application will be designed to be accessible and easy to use, even for farmers with limited technological knowledge or resources. The AI and ML technologies used in the King Coconut Assistant will be trained on large datasets of historical King Coconut production and export data, as well as other relevant data sources such as weather patterns and pest and disease outbreaks. This will enable the Assistant to provide accurate and customized advice to individual farmers and exporters, based on their specific needs and circumstances. The King Coconut Assistant has the potential to revolutionize King Coconut production and export in Sri Lanka, by leveling the playing field for small-scale farmers and exporters and providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to compete with larger players in the market. Additionally, the application has the potential to increase the overall quality and quantity of King Coconut production, which will benefit the country's economy as a whole. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT iii TABLE OF CONTENT DECLARATION ........................................................................................................................... i ABSTRACT..................................................................................................................................ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ..............................................................................................................iii TABLE OF CONTENT ................................................................................................................. iv LIST OF TABLES ......................................................................................................................... vi LIST OF FIGURES ....................................................................................................................... vi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ......................................................................................................... vii LIST OF APPENDICES ............................................................................................................... vii 1 2 INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................ 1 1.1 BACKGROUND & LITERATURE REVIEW .................................................................... 3 1.2 RESEARCH GAP ......................................................................................................... 6 1.3 RESEARCH PROBLEM................................................................................................ 7 1.4 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES ............................................................................................ 9 1.4.1 MAIN OBJECTIVE .............................................................................................. 9 1.4.2 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES...................................................................................... 11 METHODOLOGY ............................................................................................................. 14 2.1 System Architecture ............................................................................................... 14 2.2 Development Process ............................................................................................ 16 2.2.1 2.3 Component ............................................................................................................ 17 2.4 COMMERCIALIZATION ASPECTS OF THE PRODUCT ............................................... 18 2.5 TESTING & IMPLEMENTATION ............................................................................... 19 2.5.1 3 Tools and technologies .................................................................................. 16 Testing ............................................................................................................ 19 RESULTS & DISCUSSION ................................................................................................. 22 3.1 RESULTS.................................................................................................................. 22 3.2 RESEARCH FINDINGS .............................................................................................. 23 3.3 DISCUSSION............................................................................................................ 24 4 SUMMARY OF EACH STUDENT’S CONTRIBUTION.......................................................... 25 5 CONCLUSION .................................................................................................................. 26 6 REFERENCES ................................................................................................................... 27 7 APPENDICES ................................................................................................................... 28 iv v LIST OF TABLES Table 2.1 TEST CASES ........................................................................................................ 21 LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1.1 Brain Identify what is the shape ...................

The tree produces a variety of useful products such as oil, meat and milk, but young coconuts The sweet water of King Coconut stands out from other types of coconut. King Coconut Water is a popular drink in Sri Lanka, known for its refreshing taste and health benefits. King coconut production and export has become an integral part of Sri Lanka's agricultural industry and plays an important role in the country's economy. According to the Sri Lanka Coconut Development Board, King Coconuts account for about 4% of the total coconut production in Sri Lanka. However, growing king coconuts can be a difficult process that requires a lot of skill and knowledge. Cultivating king coconuts is an essential source of income for many smallholder farmers in Sri Lanka. But farmers face several challenges, including pests and diseases, climate change and market volatility. In addition, exporters face challenges such as ensuring product quality during transportation and storage. These challenges often lead to lower yields, lower quality and lower profits for farmers and exporters. There is growing interest in using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in agriculture to address these challenges. AI and ML can be used to analyze large amounts of data and provide recommendations to farmers and exporters. We help farmers and exporters make informed decisions by providing real-time data and recommendations tailored to their needs. Therefore, in this work, we propose the development of an AI and ML-based King Coconut Assistant that provides farmers and exporters with the tools and information they need to improve their production and profitability. King Coconut Assistant is a mobile application containing various AI and ML technologies to support farmers and exporters in all stages of King Coconut cultivation, from planting to harvesting to marketing. The main goal of this work is to develop a King Coconut Assistant that will help farmers and exporters improve the productivity and quality of their King Coconut 1 products. King Coconut Assistant is designed to provide personalized recommendations based on the specific needs of individual farmers and exporters. The development of King Coconut Assistant involves the integration of various AI and ML technologies. One of the technologies used is image recognition. Image recognition can be used to identify different stages of king coconut growth. B. To recognize when coconuts are ready for harvest. This technology helps farmers and exporters know exactly when to harvest and avoid picking unripe coconuts. Another technology used is natural language processing (NLP). NLP can be used to analyze data from various sources, such as weather forecasts and news articles. King Coconut Assistant can use this information to provide growers and exporters with relevant information such as weather conditions and market trends. King Coconut Assistant also includes predictive analytics. Predictive analytics can be used to analyze historical data and predict future returns. This information helps farmers and exporters make informed planting and harvesting decisions. The development of King Coconut Assistant has the potential to revolutionize Sri Lanka's King Coconut production and export. King Coconut Assistant provides growers and exporters with the tools and information they need to help them be more productive, profitable and competitive in the marketplace. Furthermore, the application has the potential to increase the overall quality and quantity of king coconut production, which benefits the economy of the country as a whole. 2 1.1 BACKGROUND & LITERATURE REVIEW Agriculture is an important sector of the economy in many countries, providing people with food and other essential products. Sri Lanka is one of the countries where agriculture plays an important role and contributes significantly to GDP. King Coconut is a popular agricultural product in Sri Lanka, widely consumed locally and exported to many countries. King coconut has many health benefits and is an important source of income for farmers and exporters. We face many challenges in manufacturing and selling at a price. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is gaining popularity in agriculture. These technologies help farmers and exporters make better decisions by providing valuable market insights and forecasts. Many AI and ML based applications have been developed to help farmers and exporters improve their production and marketing strategies. The proposed AI- and ML-based King Coconut Assistant is an important step towards utilizing these technologies to benefit Sri Lanka's King Coconut industry. This application aims to provide farmers and exporters with valuable insight into the international King Coconut products market. The application's ability to predict future prices and volumes of King Coconut products will help farmers and exporters to better plan their production and marketing strategies. The use of AI and ML in agriculture has been extensively researched in recent years. Much research has focused on crop yield prediction, crop disease detection, and precision agriculture. A study by Hasanuzzaman et al. (2020) used a machine learning algorithm to predict wheat yield. In this study, the random forest algorithm was found to be the most suitable for predicting wheat yield. Similarly, the study by Jiang et al. (2020) used convolutional neural networks to detect plant diseases in potatoes. This study achieved his 98.4% accuracy, demonstrating the potential of AI and ML in disease detection. AI and ML are also used to predict market prices and trends in other industries. A study by Nair et al. (2021) used machine learning algorithms to predict stock prices in the Indian stock market. In this study, we found that artificial neural network algorithms are the best at predicting stock prices. Similar to the study by Singh et al. (2020) used machine learning algorithms to predict demand for airline tickets. In this study, we found the gradient boosting algorithm to be the most suitable for predicting ticket demand. These studies demonstrate the potential of AI and ML in predicting future trends and outcomes in various industries. The proposed AI and ML-based King Coconut Assistant aims to use these technologies to predict future prices and quantities of King Coconut products. The application's ability to predict future trends and outcomes helps farmers and exporters make better decisions about their production and marketing strategies. Additionally, several AI and ML-based applications are being developed to support the agricultural sector in developing countries. For example, in the Philippines, a smart agriculture dashboard developed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) uses machine learning algorithms to predict rice yields and optimize fertilizer use. In India, the eKrishi project, developed by the Indian government, uses mobile apps and sensors to provide farmers with real-time information on weather, market prices and crop diseases. 3 These applications demonstrate the potential of AI and ML to transform agriculture and improve farmers' lives. AI and ML can be used to predict future prices and quantities of products by analyzing patterns in data such as historical prices, supply and demand, and economic indicators. For example, ML algorithms can analyze correlations between product prices and various economic factors such as inflation, GDP growth, and interest rates to make accurate price forecasts [3]. Additionally, the intersection of the supply and demand curves can be used to determine the equilibrium price and quantity of the product [4]. To predict future prices and quantities of King Coconut products, you can train AI and ML models based on historical data such as King Coconut product prices and quantities over a specified time period. Models can then analyze factors such as climatic conditions, supply and demand, and economic indicators to predict future prices and quantities of products. Additionally, the analysis of the supply and demand curve for King Coconut products can be used to determine the equilibrium price and quantity of the product [4]. Applying AI and ML to intelligently help farmers and exporters predict future prices, identify top and bottom countries, and forecast the volume of King Coconut products sold in different countries system can be created. The system uses machine learning algorithms to recognize patterns and trends in historical data related to King Coconut production and export. By analyzing this data, the system can predict future trends and provide valuable insights to farmers and exporters. To determine future prices of King Coconut products, the system can use regression analysis, a type of supervised machine learning algorithm. The system can be trained using historical price data and can predict future prices based on various factors such as production costs, supply, demand and global economic conditions. To identify countries with high and low sales, the system can use clustering algorithms such as K-Means to group countries based on their buying behavior. This system can analyze historical sales data and identify patterns of purchasing behavior in each country. Based on this analysis, the system can group countries into clusters and predict which countries are most likely to purchase King Coco's products in the future. To predict the amount of King Coconut products sold in different countries, the system can use time series analysis, a kind of unsupervised machine learning algorithm. This system can analyze historical sales data and identify patterns and trends in the data. Based on this analysis, the system can predict the future volume of King Coconut products sold in different countries. Predicting the future is important in various fields such as finance, economics and agriculture. For the AI and ML based King Coconut Assistant for farmers and exporters, future forecasting is critical to identify potential customers and make informed decisions about price, volume and market strategy. Predictive analytics can be used to analyze historical sales, consumer behavior and market trend data to gain insight into future demand and potential growth opportunities for King Cocos products. You can use this information to identify the best and least selling countries, 4 and the most popular and least popular King Cocos product types. Using this data, farmers and exporters can optimize their production and distribution strategies to meet demand and maximize profits. 5 1.2 RESEARCH GAP Features Systems Proposed System 6 1.3 RESEARCH PROBLEM Agriculture is an important sector for many developing countries, including Sri Lanka. It employs a significant portion of the country's workforce and contributes to the country's GDP. However, the agricultural sector's contribution to the Sri Lankan economy has declined in recent years. Crop diseases, poor crop management, and ineffective export controls are some of the factors contributing to the sector's decline. This research problem focuses on overcoming these challenges by developing an AI- and ML-based King Coconut Assistant for farmers and exporters. The Significance of Agriculture in Sri Lanka: The agricultural sector has played an important role in Sri Lanka's economy for centuries. It employs most of the country's workforce and contributes significantly to the country's GDP. However, the agricultural sector's contribution to the economy has declined in recent years, with agricultural production's share of domestic GDP falling from 20% in 2000 to 7.4% in 2019. This decline is mainly due to several challenges facing the sector. Crop Diseases: Crop diseases are a major challenge for farmers in Sri Lanka. Insect-borne diseases and viruses can reduce crop yields by 10% to 95%. Early detection is essential to prevent severe losses and limit the use of pesticides that can harm human health and the environment. Farmers in developing countries and small farms commonly use visual symptoms to identify crop problems, but this is a time-consuming and laborious process. Therefore, the development of AI and ML-based King Coconut Assistant can help farmers in disease detection and yield estimation, making a significant contribution to the agricultural sector. Poor Crop Management: Another challenge faced by Sri Lankan farmers is their failure to adjust crop production to external factors. Since all farmers sow and harvest at the same time, a significant portion of the harvest is lost each year, and within a year he loses 40%. Excess food and inadequate infrastructure to cope with other factors such as soil quality, temperature, altitude and irrigation techniques also contribute to declining crop production. The AI and ML-based King 7 Coconut Assistant helps farmers adapt crop production to external factors, reduce crop losses and increase yields. Ineffective Export Management: Sri Lanka lacks effective controls for marketing and exporting crops. Farmers struggle to sell their crops quickly and are often unaware of global export markets. Intermediaries between farmers and traders also struggle to source commodities. Farmers in remote areas may struggle to sell fresh produce, resulting in massive crop losses. The AI and ML-based King Coconut Assistant provides farmers with information on global export markets and future prices and volumes of King Coconut products, facilitating effective management of crop distribution and exports. Fast and efficient access to market information allows farmers to sell their crops before they spoil or go bad. Sri Lanka's agricultural sector faces several challenges including crop diseases, poor crop management and ineffective export controls. Developing an AI and ML based King Coconut Assistant for farmers and exporters can make a significant contribution in this field. The software helps farmers with disease detection and yield estimation, allowing crop production to be adjusted to external factors. Additionally, the software provides information on global export markets and future prices and volumes for King Coconut products, facilitating effective management of crop distribution and exports. By addressing these challenges, Sri Lanka's agricultural sector can thrive and contribute more to the country's economy. 8 1.4 1.4.1 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES MAIN OBJECTIVE King Coconut Assistant is a mobile application developed to assist King Coconut farmers and export buyers in their cultivation and export activities.
