RapidEye... AgriSat Agreement


RapidEye has confirmed to SatNews its long-standing partnership with S2Bvisio in the development and distribution of expert agricultural services based on RapidEye imagery. S2Bvisio and RapidEye have been partnering for several years and are committed to developing value-added products for canola and cereal crops which are beneficial to farmers.

Ongoing research and development activities are concentrating on cereals, sunflower and sugar beet crops and focus on nitrogen fertilization, irrigation and yield prediction. French specialized research institutes are also involved in many of these projects. This strategic value-added service collaboration will be intensified in future projects including pasture monitoring and biomass management. RapidEye and S2Bvisio will study the development of services for agricultural operators, processors and other key players in the agricultural world. The vision that new technologies are an important element in the development of sustainable agriculture is shared by both companies.
