MandiLens organizes complex market data into clear charts and tables. You can search for specific crops by name or filter results by state and region.
The app displays side-by-side price trends for different locations. This helps you identify which markets offer the best value for your produce. It pulls live figures so your information remains current.
The software uses time-series analysis to suggest price patterns for the coming week. These forecasts rely on past data to predict shifts in supply and demand. Always remember that forecasts serve as estimates rather than guarantees.
We track the source of every data point. If a specific mandi reports incomplete data, MandiLens marks these entries with a context flag. This transparency helps you know when to trust the numbers and when to exercise caution.
MandiLens requires a basic Windows environment to run smoothly.
- Windows 10 or Windows 11.
- 4 GB of RAM.
- An active internet connection to refresh market data.
- At least 200 MB of free storage space.
Do I need a paid subscription? No. MandiLens uses open-source data from AGMARKNET. We provide this tool for free to support transparency in agriculture.
Does the app work offline? The app saves your previous data for offline viewing. You need an internet connection to fetch the latest price updates or new forecasts.
How do you calculate the forecasts? The tool uses machine learning models trained on historical price trends. These models look for repeating patterns in price movement over several years to estimate future behavior.
Can I export the data? Yes. You can save any chart or table as a spreadsheet file for your own records. Use the "Export" button located in the top menu of the dashboard to save your current view.
Is my data private? The app does not collect your personal information. All your searches and stored market preferences stay on your local computer.
If you encounter a problem, try these solutions first.
- App won't open: Check if your antivirus software is blocking the file. Sometimes strict security settings flag new software as a risk. Add MandiLens to your "Allowed Apps" list in your Windows security settings.
- Data appears old: Ensure your internet connection is active. Click the "Refresh" button in the top corner of the app to force a new pull of information from the official databases.
- Slow performance: Close other heavy programs if you have limited RAM. Clear the app cache in the "Settings" menu to remove old, unused data files from your drive.
