AgroX: Uplift Ceylon Cinnamon Industry

Abstract

Sri Lanka has been renowned for its cinnamon since ancient times, which is also known as Ceylon cinnamon. It has become a huge asset to both small and large-scale export companies as well as the overall spice-export community of Sri Lanka. From cinnamon growers to exporters, every link in the industry chain faces various issues. Due to producers' existing use of ineffective technologies, a smart support system is urgently needed. These key issues are addressed by the suggested solution, which is "AI-Based Tech Support for the Ceylon Cinnamon Industry". The 'Agrox-Cinnamon App' is a groundbreaking multi-platform mobile application innovation in the cinnamon industry, reshaping how growers, traders, and consumers interact with the spice. This research explores the app's transformative impact on price forecasting, disease identification, grade classification, and community engagement. The system is implemented primarily using computer vision and machine learning techniques.
