Summary: The current paper present the remote sensing and geoprocessing application importance to obtain considerable datum related with brazilian grape production areas, specifying São Francisco River Valley, because this area is the principal tropical grape producer in Brazil, presenting, according IBGE 2002 estimation, close to 10% of total brazilian production, and is localizated between Casa Nova city, in Bahia state, and Santa Maria da Boa Vista and Lagoa Grande cities, in Pernambuco state. It was used CBERS-2B images, in his cameras CCD and HRC, acquired for free through a register in INPE?s website. The acquired images was processed with ENVI?s 4.2 help, objectiving to extract datum who are able to do a geographic characterization in the areas that was choosed, in this specific case, the grape culture expansion in São Francisco River Valley, who will be observed over the compare between the land use and cover maps generates by ENVI 4.2 and composed in SCARTA 4.3.3, and IBGE 2002 statistics. There is an idea to do an georeferencing orbital images data base, with all brazilian producers grape areas, and uses this information to heal some difficulties, and to contribute to follow the grape areas development and expansion, applying the agriculturand precision concept.
