FORECAST OF YIELD IN GRAIN UNITS USING A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LAND RECLAMATION PROJECTS

This the method of calculating crop productivity in equivalent values is considered in the article. This is necessary to compare the yield of crops of different groups with each other. Also, such an assessment is used in the analysis of the profitability of investment projects and the effectiveness of economic activity. Geographic information system tools are used to visualize calculations. The results of the authors' study for the period 2024 and 2025 are presented. NDVI georeferenced raster-grids are analyzed. It is noted that in practice, to optimize calculations and processing attribute information, direct analysis of rasters and extraction of statistics are performed. The accuracy of the forecast is also determined by the accuracy of estimating the likely yield level of the original model. The relevance of the study is justified by the fact that to assess the effectiveness of land reclamation activities, an equivalent assessment of yield is currently used as an indicator of the effectiveness of the planned activities by the recipients of the subsidy. The results of this study can also be used by to further improve the industry information system.
