  ABSTRACT: This paper applies the novel adaptive learning methodology to forecast agricultural and energy prices in Greece’s volatile, data-scarce markets. We combine traditional ordinary least squares with quantile regression techniques within this framework, achieving up to 27% lower forecast errors compared to conventional benchmarks. Our analysis reveals distinct performance patterns: quantile regression demonstrates superior accuracy for volatile commodities (e.g., barley), while ordinary least squares performs better for stable markets (e.g., maize). The learning rate parameter γ proves crucial in adapting to market conditions. These findings provide policymakers with an enhanced tool for analyzing energy-agriculture price linkages and managing market volatility, particularly in small, open economies facing data limitations.
