Abstract

Analysis of usage of satellite data in agricultural insurance was conducted. Main peculiarities and ways of potential usage were listed. It was highlighted that satellite data can be successfully used for crop monitoring, risks and damages assessment, as well as for pastures monitoring. The perspectives of usage of UAV images instead of satellite data for small areas were noted.
