The Remote sensing based Information and Insurance for Crops in emerging Economies (RIICE) project (2013-2021) is a collaborative initiative between the International Rice Research Institute, SARMAP, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Vietnam. The project makes use of Earth Observation technology to regularly and timely monitor rice area and yield. These are the underlying seasonal information produced by RIICE technologies at the commune level in seven provinces since 2016. This study summarizes the methodological development carried out to produce detailed maps of rice area, start of season, and yield using RIICE technologies for the case of study of seven provinces in the main rice regions of Vietnam. For the purpose of this study results of the last three years from 2018-2020 were illustrated and discussed. The rice area was verified with a deviation that varied from 2.2 to 9.5%. On the other hand, rice yield estimates were compared with the reported statistical data and it shows an agreement of more than 90% at the province level. With  RIICE's products being utilized by BaoViet, insurance products/schemes have been implemented and being practiced in rice crop insurance. This shows that RIICE technologies are a useful tool for rice monitoring and possible application to agricultural crop insurance.
