LETTURA: 3 minuti

Approximately 400,000 agricultural drones in use by 400,000 trained operators to treat 300 types of crops in 100 countries

SHENZHEN, China, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --  DJI, the world leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today presented its fourth annual Agricultural Drone Industry Insight Report at Brazil's Agrishow 2025 in São Paulo. The findings revealed a maturing global industry built around agricultural drones that's poised for the next phase of growth. Increasingly, regional aviation authorities are implementing friendlier policies to accelerate precision farming and smarter crop protection technologies worldwide. The standardization for pilot training has also driven an influx of young people and women. At the end of 2024, 400,000 DJI Agriculture drones were estimated to be in use globally, up 90% from 2020. The adoption of drone technology has saved approximately 222 million tons of water and reduced 30.87 tons of carbon emissions.

"Agricultural drones have become essential farm equipment around the world. Thanks to research-based policies and a clearer process for operator training, adoption among young people and women has grown significantly," stated Yuan Zhang, Head of Global Sales at DJI Agriculture. "As the industry continues to mature globally, DJI Agriculture remains steadfast in our mission to help farmers improve efficiency and sustainably increase their yields through innovative drone technology."

Research-based policies accelerating adoption

Agricultural drone usage continued to expand throughout 2024. Some countries are transitioning from limited testing to formal application, while others are expanding from single-crop applications to broader applications across various crops. This is largely thanks to smarter rules by local aviation authorities. For example, Argentina reduced restrictions for drone deployment in agricultural areas, while Spain simplified the approval process for using agricultural drones. At the same time, some countries, like Brazil, have further standardized the process for pilot training, thereby making it easier for people to operate spray drones legally.

DJI Agriculture advances anti-drift features and design for spray drones

Limiting drifting continues to be a challenge for pesticide application across all methods: spray drones, traditional aircraft, and ground-based equipment. However, DJI Agriculture has optimized its drone's nozzle design and airflow dynamics following extensive drifting tests conducted in collaboration with various global partners from 2021 to 2024. The company has also shared best practices for minimizing drift, including recommended low wind speed conditions, appropriate flight altitudes, and droplet sizes based on different pesticides and field conditions.

Case studies for spraying, spreading, and orchard management

DJI's Agricultural Drone Industry Insight Report features several new case studies for spraying and spreading applications for corn, coffee beans, canola, sunflowers, rice, bananas, and vineyards.
