India Flood Damage to Pulses
In August 2021, severe flooding in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh threatened large areas of pulse crops, including black gram. Market reaction was slow and inconsistent due to the difficulty of obtaining reliable data at scale. HSAT deployed over 2,000 local data collectors, combined with radar (SAR) imagery, optical satellite data, and weather analysis, to deliver a national and field-level assessment of the damage within days — providing clarity when others were still guessing.
When initial reports underestimated the impact of the floods on black gram yields, our integrated ground and satellite analysis showed far greater losses. By the time official numbers caught up, our clients had already taken strategic positions.
Data You Can Trade On
CropGPT integrates weather, radar, satellite, pricing, and large-scale field surveys to deliver crop forecasts with 95–98% accuracy. For India's 2021 floods, this meant combining SAR imagery for national-scale mapping with on-the-ground crop surveys for precise yield loss calculations. Whether securing domestic supply, adjusting import plans, or managing insurance exposure, clients relied on HSAT's verified insights — not delayed estimates.
