Abstract

This research explores information fusion and data mining techniques and proposes a methodology to improve predictions based on strong associations among agricultural products, which allows prediction for future consumption in local markets in the Andean region of Ecuador using spatial prediction techniques. This commercial activity is performed using Alternative Marketing Circuits (CIALCO), seeking to establish a direct relationship between producer and consumer prices, and promote buying and selling among family groups.
