Agri Spray Drones, a distributor of agricultural spray drone technology in North America, has announced a strategic partnership with EAVision. This manufacturer specialises in advanced drone technology. This collaboration aims to support US crop growers with tools to enhance efficiency and precision in open-field farming.
The partnership introduces the EAVision J100 spray drone to the US market. This drone features built-in lidar technology, enabling it to accurately navigate diverse terrains. Equipped with mist nozzles, the J100 ensures control over droplet size and spray patterns. It can be applied in diverse crops, including grains, potatoes, onions, and vegetables.
“Our mission has always been to create opportunities for rural America,” said Taylor Moreland, Founder and CEO of Agri Spray Drones. “Partnering with EAVision aligns with that goal, allowing us to offer farmers and applicators access to revolutionary drone technology designed specifically for their needs.”
The agricultural spray drone sector contributed over $80 million to rural economies in 2023, according to a May 2024 survey by the American Spray Drone Coalition. However, recent market conditions have posed challenges to sustained growth and innovation. This partnership ensures that American farmers continue to benefit from advancements in precision agriculture while receiving comprehensive support for existing products.
EAVision has its headquarters in China and Silicon Valley, and is backed by agricultural investors such as Continental Grain Company and BASF. “We want to deepen our presence in the US agricultural market by offering drones tailored to the unique needs of American farmers,” said Dr. Wang Xinyu, Chairman of EAVision. “This partnership is a significant step in fostering innovation and building a sustainable future for agriculture in the US.”
The J100 spray drone will complement Agri Spray Drones’ existing product line. Prices for the EAVision J100 start at $25,000 (€23,000).
