Agrofly
Autonomous drone sevice for field mapping, spraying, and crop protection
Description
Agrofly provides agricultural drones and services that combine aerial mapping crop monitoring and precision spray applications to enhance crop management and yield. The company builds custom drones with multispectral sensors autopilot systems and application equipment to support integrated crop protection and fertilization.
Technology
Agrofly employs unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with multispectral sensors, GPS navigation and application modules for spraying or biological treatment. The solution provides autonomous drone services for precision agriculture across different crop types and also includes selected forestry applications. The service offer includes field mapping for early detection of plant stress, fungal diseases, weeds, nutrient and water deficiencies, yield estimation, fruit maturity assessment and damage evaluation. It also supports biological control in maize and precision spraying based on application maps. In forestry, the service includes forest and nursery monitoring, tree counting, vegetation condition analysis, forest road inventory and post-disaster inspections. Output maps are georeferenced so users can target inputs more precisely and reduce waste.
Target
Agrofly targets farmers at various scales of cooperatives and private sector farms that seek precision agriculture services. The solution is designed for clients who value efficient resource use high yield quality and compliance with environmental and regulatory standards.
Business model
Agrofly operates a fee-for-service model and also offers custom drone production and related equipment solutions. The service offer includes per-hectare pricing for single mapping flights from about USD 2.2/ha, annual subscription packages for repeated monitoring from about USD 347/year, and group offers for multiple fields in one region from about USD 1.4/ha. The website also lists biological control services from about USD 18/ha, Trichogramma product application from about USD 41/ha, and precision and biological spraying from about USD 19/ha under specified conditions. According to the company, prices depend on factors such as field size, number of flights and service type, and subscription packages are available for 12, 24 or 36 months.
Impact
Agrofly aims to improve the precision and efficiency of crop management by enabling earlier detection of crop stress, diseases, nutrient deficiencies and weed presence. The service supports more targeted interventions and more efficient use of agricultural inputs, with the potential to reduce unnecessary applications and improve field-level decision-making. According to the company, biological control can increase yields by up to 20 percent, while targeted spraying can generate savings where problems occur on about 30 percent of the field area.
