Abstract

Vietnam is advancing the integration of geospatial data to refine agricultural statistics and enable policymakers to swiftly comprehend the impact of various economic. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is leveraging remote sensing techniques to analyze and estimate rice cultivation areas, a critical agricultural product in Vietnam. This analysis employs the International Asian Harvest Monitoring System for Rice (INAHOR) software, developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, to accurately identify and measure rice fields. Field data is collected from Dai Yen commune in Chuong My District, Hanoi. By comparing the results from INAHOR with administrative data, the study aims to demonstrate the practical application of remote sensing technology in mapping rice areas in Vietnam, emphasizing the support from international organizations for developing countries.
