In-season crop intelligence at field level, months before official harvest statistics.
What's included
Field parcels with the classified crop (wheat, maize, barley, sunflower, rapeseed, soybean and others), classification confidence, area, estimated sowing date and peak vegetation index, plus weekly yield forecasts with a central estimate and 10th and 90th percentile range. Aggregates by region and country are included for users who do not need parcel geometries, along with a season-to-date comparison with the previous five years.
How buyers use it
- Forecast production and trade flows for grains and oilseeds
- Price crop insurance and monitor portfolio exposure during the season
- Plan input sales and logistics by region
- Track planted area shifts between crops from year to year
Coverage and methodology
Crop types are classified from Sentinel-1 radar and Sentinel-2 optical time series, with partner 50 cm imagery used for training and quality control. Models are trained on about 120,000 field-surveyed labels collected each season by local partners. Yield models combine vegetation dynamics with weather reanalysis and are calibrated to official regional statistics from previous seasons. Overall crop-type accuracy is around 91% in validation, lower for minor crops and small fields. Forecasts update weekly during the growing season, within three days of new cloud-free acquisitions. Parcel boundaries are derived from imagery, not from land registries, and contain no owner information.
