Crop recommendation system model integrating with data analytics has been proposed. The system consist of componentsweb services, data analytics, and web application development. The RESTful weather and agriculture web services were built to interaction with various data sources. The web services are developed using JAX-RS in NetBeans IDE. Regression Analysis and Time Series Analysis are used to analyses the trends and pattern of agriculture Growth and Production. Crop Recommendation System is carried out for cotton crop in Ahmedabad District, Gujarat. The proto type is developed using MySQL, Java, NetBeans IDE, and RStudio
