The cost of planning blind

Without forward visibility, every decision becomes a gamble. Here is what happens when you operate without price forecasts.

Budget Overruns

Procurement teams exceed budgets when prices spike unexpectedly. Without forecasts, you are always one bad week away from blowing your quarterly numbers.

Missed Opportunities

Traders miss optimal entry and exit points without forward visibility. By the time you see the move, it is already priced in.

Harvest Timing Errors

Farm managers sell at the wrong time, leaving money on the table. A week earlier or later can mean thousands in lost revenue per cage.

The Solution

Machine learning trained on 30+ market factors

Our LightGBM ensemble model analyzes supply signals (harvest volumes, biomass, mortality), demand indicators (EU imports, Google Trends), biological data (sea lice, temperature), currency movements, and forward curves to predict where prices are heading.

Every prediction comes with confidence intervals and SHAP explainability, so you understand not just what the model predicts, but why.

  • Weekly model updates every Tuesday after FishPool release
  • 4-week rolling forecast horizon with daily granularity
  • Confidence intervals for risk assessment and scenario planning
  • SHAP explainability showing which factors drive each prediction
