Signals collected from the satellite every six or 12 days can help calculate rice productivity in Vietnam (Source: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) – The use ofsatellite earth observation date to monitor rice production in the Red Riverand Mekong Deltas was discussed at a workshop in Hanoi on October 25.
The workshop on remote sensing application in agricultural production inVietnam was jointly held by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Developmentand the Swiss Embassy.
Nguyen Quang Dung, Director of the National Institute of Agricultural Planningand Projection (NIAPP), said the project on remote sensing application in rice productionin 10 provinces of the Red River and Mekong Deltas has been launched since2012.
The two-phase project conducted studies using finance from the Swiss Agency forDevelopment and Cooperation and other international partners, he said.
Dung said rice production in Vietnam has been monitored from the Sentinelsatellite of the European Space Agency, with the algorithm and model developedby Sarmap Company of Switzerland and the International Rice Research Institute.
Signals collected from the satellite every six or 12 days can help calculaterice productivity in Vietnam.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Quang Ha, from the NIAPP, said losses caused by natural disasterscan be evaluated by remote sensing technology, thus assisting insuranceactivities to ease risks facing farmers.-VNA
