Abstract: Purpose: This study aims to address the limitations of traditional data processing methods in predicting agricultural product prices, which is essential for advancing rural informatization to enhance agricultural efficiency and support rural economic growth. Methodology: The RL-CNN-GRU framework combines reinforcement learning (RL), convolutional neural network (CNN), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) to improve agricultural price predictions using multidimensional time series data, including historical prices, weather, soil conditions, and other influencing factors. Initially, the model employs a 1D-CNN for feature extraction, followed by GRUs to capture temporal patterns in the data. Reinforcement learning further optimizes the model, enhancing the analysis and accuracy of multidimensional data inputs for more reliable price predictions. Results: Testing on public and proprietary datasets shows that the RL-CNN-GRU framework significantly outperforms traditional models in predicting prices, with lower mean squared error (MSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) metrics. Conclusion: The RL-CNN-GRU framework contributes to rural informatization by offering a more accurate prediction tool, thereby supporting improved decision-making in agricultural processes and fostering rural economic development.
