Changes of agriculture land use in Kelantan river basin from 2004 to 2015 using time series satellite images

Agriculture is Kelantan’s main economic activity while most of fruit farmers are located in Kelantan, with rice, rubber and tobacco is the state’s foremost agricultural produces. Besides, fishing and forestry are also major contributors to the economy. However, flood is one of the most common natura...
