Abstract :
Asian countries are responsible for approximately 90% of the world´s rice production and consumption. As a result, rice is the most significant cereal crop in Asia. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) led to develop a work plan of Asia rice crop monitoring in GEO global agriculture monitoring (GEO-GLAM). This paper presents an overview of Asia rice crop monitoring in GEO-GLAM.
