Abstract:

The objective of this study is to compare five forecasting statistical methods on the price of Jasmine rice. These methods are Simple Exponential Smoothing method, Holt’s method, Holt–Winter’s method, Box–Jenkins method and combined forecast based on regression method. All methods are tested on the data collection of the monthly series of the price of Jasmine rice from January 2007 to December 2012 recorded by the Bank of Thailand. By using the mean square error (MSE) and the mean absolute percent error (MAPE), the Holt’s method is the most promising method. In addition, Government and authorities should use this result for forecasting the price of Jasmine rice.
