ABC.AZ informs that Ismet Bakhishov, the director of the Center for Geographic Information Systems of Azercosmos Space Agency, made the relevant statement at an event on "Agricultural insurance in Azerbaijan: development & prospects".

"For this purpose, various indicators of vegetation are calculated and modeled in combination with field observations in order to obtain more accurate yield indicators as a result," Bakhishov emphasized.

He added that space technologies are widely used in the agricultural sector of Azerbaijan, as well as in many countries around the world: "In particular, the data obtained with the help of climate satellites located in a medium orbit makes it possible to make more accurate weather forecasts, which is important for the agricultural sector operating in open areas."
