The Agriculture Drone Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.9% from 2023 to reach $14.06 billion by 2030. Drones in agriculture can ignite a big change in improving the efficiency of agriculture. Drones are alternatives to the lack of skilled human resources and other heavy machines and tools or equipment. For several precision agricultural applications like day-to-day crop monitoring, soil and field analysis, irrigation, crop spraying, crop field mapping, crop health assessment, and livestock monitoring, among other applications, drones are cheaper and economical solutions. These agricultural drones can spray 40-60% faster than manual spraying with saving 30-50% in chemicals. Apart from this, they are also capable of conserving up to 90% of water used for agriculture.
