Abstract (AB)	In the SUCRETTE project (earth and space network), we propose to study the technical feasibility and the economic viability of new spatial products and tools for precision agriculture in tropical areas. The recent and future projects in Earth observation (High spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions...) should lead to new fields of application which we try to anticipate in this project. First, various applications of satellite remote sensing in the fields of institutional and private agriculure are reviewed. These applications are now widened with the new SPOT5 satellite which provides black and white (2,5 m) and colour (10 m) high spatial resolution data over large areas (3600 km2). The increase in the resolution allows a 1: 10 000 cartography, while preserving the vegetation discrimination and the description of the crop heterogeneity. Secondly, the demonstration project SUCRETTE is presented. The objective of the project is to develop, from test sites in the Reunion Island, the French West Indies and Mauritus, the prototype of a decision support system for sugarcane agriculture and industry. The heart of this system is an on-shelf GIS, coupled to a crop production model and an agrometeorological data base, supplied with time series of satellite images. This system should facilitate (1) the update of the crop inventory and the evaluation of the new regulations (2) the follow-up of the harvest campaign and (3) the yield estimates through a better account of spatiotemporal variability of the crop development.
