Abstract

In order to predict the future annual grain production in Huainan scientifically and accurately, according to the monotone increasing characteristics of the grain output in Huainan from 1995-2010, in this study, we predict the grain output from 2011 to 2014 by using the grey GM (1, 1) model and compare the prediction results with the real value, we find that the prediction has a good effect and the errors are within the scope of the permission. It is very significant for Huainan municipal government to make the corresponding economic development program, to preserve the social stability and to boost the living standards in Huainan.
