The project was supported by RIICE Project. It aimed to access to updated and reliable information is crucial to a more efficient and resilient agricultural production in response to the escalating challenges of food security for the growing population and the impacts caused by extreme weather events. Information derived from remote sensing helps governments and agricultural intermediaries to better manage domestic rice production and distribution, both during normal growing conditions and after natural events. For insurers, such information is essential to reduce the risk and to introduce new insurance schemes affordable for low-income smallholder farmers. RIICE technology is continuously evolving by integrating data acquired from new satellite systems, drone data, and by adapting and customizing the service according to countries’ and insurers’ specific needs. The standard product suite consists of: 1) Baseline maps, i.e. Agricultural and rice area and rice ecosystem zoning; 2) Seasonal area, seasonal phenology and bio-physical parameters; 3) Seasonal yield forecast and yield estimation at harvest time; 4) Flood and drought related rice damage maps. | 2021 |

The initial budget was CHF 3,686,000, equivalent to USD 4,108,341. The project was supported by RIICE Project.

The budget reported is the total budget of the project. The budget is reporting here is covered in Asia countries like India, Cambodia, Vietnam. The support of the budget is ensure small-scale (rice) producers in Asia; 0.5 million directly targeted with crop insurance coverage using RIICE. It is also aimed to improve Governmental bodies, mostly central ministries but also decentralized authorities involved in crop monitoring, natural risks management and insurance, principally in India, Vietnam and Cambodia; National insurance (and re-insurance) companies, private ones mostly in the same countries. | 2022 |
