Supply Watch
2 to 7 days of advance warning when LPG, onion, paneer, oil, or chicken supply breaks — pulled from Agmarknet + news.
What it does
Supply Watch in plain English
Supply Watch combines daily Agmarknet mandi prices with NewsAPI headlines to detect impending shortages or price spikes before they hit your kitchen. The system maps a news headline like 'Iran sanctions LPG' to your kitchen's actual usage (3 cylinders/week) and writes an action card: 'Stock 5-day buffer before next week. Estimated impact ₹6,400.'
Examples
What you actually see

'Cooking oil import news flagged — 5-day inventory buffer recommended for restaurants in Mumbai, Pune, Nashik.'
