Abstract

Fertilizer is essential to Indonesia’s agricultural productivity, yet subsidized fertilizer distribution often suffers from supply and demand mismatch. This study discusses the forecasting of subsidized fertilizer demand, particularly NPK Phonska fertilizer in Central Java. The forecasted demand data is intended to support distribution planning and assist in estimating warehouse capacity. The SARIMA (Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) method was applied to 29 regional / sales area time series using KNIME, an open-source analytic platform that simplifies complex modeling tasks. Model performance was evaluated using Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and model provided satisfactory result in most of sales areas. While accuracy varied across regions due to external factors such as climate variability and policy constraints, the results demonstrate that SARIMA, combined with KNIME, is an effective and scalable tool for regional-level fertilizer demand forecasting.
