With the payload upgraded to 40 kg, the drone can serve larger fields more effectively to address labor shortage
XAG to promote smart agriculture, drones flying above the field to perform farm works have been gradually adopted in many regions. To meet farmer’s need for a large-capacity drone, XAG officially makes its P100 Agricultural Drone available for sales globally. This fully autonomous drone has multiple uses around the farm, such as spraying pesticides, spreading fertilisers and broadcasting seeds, to boost yield and lower costs.
As one of the fast-growing markets for agricultural drone, Vietnam becomes the first to witness the rising force of XAG P100. With the payload upgraded to 40 kg, the drone can serve larger fields more effectively to address labor shortage. In the meantime, drone pilot is seen as the new favoured career for rural youth, who can harness technology to make a good fortune.
Khuong, KPT’s co-founder said, “With two XAG P100 agricultural drones, two small teams consisting of only 4 to 6 people can finish the fieldwork much faster and easier. While the drone sprays evenly and penetrate the rice crops more quickly, it can also spread seeds and fertilisers. Our service has helped him reduce labor cost and improve the yields.”
The introduction of agricultural drone has changed the tune of young generation on rural development. It provides a decent work opportunity for rural youth who can build a new type of business like the KPT Fly Team or join as a drone pilot. They have become the new rising force to fuel the transformation towards sustainable agriculture.
