End-to-end BigQuery and Power BI solution analyzing agricultural profitability across Sub-Saharan Africa # Comprehensive Farm Performance & Profitability System 🌾📊 ## Project Overview This project is an end-to-end data analytics solution evaluating the operational efficiency and financial viability of 500 farms across Sub-Saharan Africa. As the capstone project for my DataverseAfrica internship, the goal was to transform raw agricultural data into actionable insights for two distinct stakeholders: **Farmer Cooperatives** and **Agribusiness Investors**. Cultivating staples firsthand provides a unique lens for data analysis; this dashboard was built to bridge the gap between dirt-and-soil realities (like the physical labor required for tuber mounds) and high-level corporate investment strategy. ## Tech Stack & Skills * **Data Processing & ETL:** SQL (Google BigQuery) * **Data Visualization & Modeling:** Power BI (DAX, Data Modeling) * **Analytical Concepts:** Yield Gap Analysis, Financial Stress-Testing, Profitability Modeling, Precision Agriculture Metrics. ## The Dashboard: Dual-Stakeholder Views ### 1. Operational Performance (Cooperative View) Focused on ground-level realities, yield optimization, and input costs. * **The Leak:** Identified an $806.58K total revenue leak caused by yield gaps, representing nearly 25% of potential agricultural revenue left in the dirt. * **Biological Insights:** High-value crops like Tomatoes showed massive yield gaps due to their fragile, high-maintenance nature. Conversely, resilient legumes like Cowpea consistently met baseline benchmarks without requiring flawless operational environments. * **Actionable Recommendation:** Advised redirecting cooperative funds toward targeted extension services (irrigation/stem cuttings) and establishing shared mechanization to lower the disproportionately high manual labor costs in subsistence farming. ### 2. Financial Viability & Risk (Investor View) Focused on bottom-line returns, gross margins, and market vulnerability. * **The Stress Test:** While the portfolio boasts a hi …
