GUANGZHOU -- DJI is rapidly expanding its agricultural-drone business by catering to young farmers in its home market of China, growing its cumulative sales 15-fold in five years to 300,000 units.
Drones flying over fields to spray pesticides are an increasingly common sight in rural China. These vehicles use aerial photos to set flight paths and can avoid obstacles automatically. The latest models are equipped with two sprayers that can apply 18 liters of chemicals per minute.
