# African Agro Data Exchange A comprehensive data platform for African agriculture - aggregating yields, weather, exports, and prices into a queryable Bloomberg-style terminal. ## Problem Definition Africa’s agricultural sector generates massive amounts of data — from crop yields and weather patterns to export statistics and commodity prices — but this information remains scattered across disconnected systems, reports, and institutions. As a result, policymakers, agribusinesses, and traders operate with fragmented, outdated, or incomplete data, making it difficult to make fast, evidence-based decisions. The African Agro Data Exchange solves this by building a unified, real-time platform that aggregates agricultural, economic, and environmental data across the continent into one queryable system. It acts as a Bloomberg-style data terminal for African agriculture, giving users instant access to accurate insights, analytics, and forecasts to power trade, policy, and innovation across the food economy. ## Features ### Data Coverage - **Crop Yields**: Historical yields by country and crop type - **Weather Data**: Temperature, rainfall, seasonal patterns - **Export Statistics**: Trade volumes and destinations - **Price Data**: Commodity prices across markets - **Economic Indicators**: GDP, inflation, currency rates ### Technical Capabilities - RESTful API with JWT authentication - Real-time data aggregation from multiple sources - Advanced analytics and forecasting - Interactive visualizations (Plotly, D3.js) - Data export (CSV, JSON, Excel) - Multi-tenant SaaS architecture ### Countries Covered Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Rwanda ### Commodities Tracked Maize, Wheat, Rice, Sorghum, Cassava, Coffee, Tea, Cotton, Cocoa, Sugarcane ## Installation ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt python data/sample_data.py python app.py ``` ## API Documentation ### Authentication ```bash POST /api/auth/login Bod …
