At the AgriShow in Brazil, the new report highlights the maturity of the sector, with over 600,000 DJI agricultural drones now deployed in over 100 countries and regions.
SHENZHEN, China, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DJI Agriculture, the global leader in innovative agricultural drone technologies, presented its fifth Annual Report “Agricultural Drone Industry Insight Report” (2025/2026) at Agrishow 2026 in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. The report emphasizes how global policies are evolving towards liberalization, normalization, and strategic integration. Additionally, DJI Agriculture has strengthened its network of 3,500 service and repair centers worldwide while advocating for the standardization of drone operations. By the end of 2025, over 600,000 DJI agricultural drones were being used worldwide by more than 600,000 trained operators. The adoption of this technology has saved approximately 410 million tons of water, equivalent to the annual drinking water consumption of 740 million people, and reduced carbon emissions by 51 million tons, equivalent to the annual carbon absorption capacity of 240 million trees.
“DJI agricultural drones are no longer a novelty; they have become essential equipment for farms worldwide. In Brazil, DJI drones are now widely used on major crops in the country, including coffee, soybeans, corn, sugarcane, and forage grasses,” said Yuan Zhang, Director of Global Sales for DJI Agriculture. “As adoption continues to grow globally, DJI Agriculture will continue to strengthen its support network for operators while providing training through its global network of over 7,000 certified instructors. These investments underscore the company’s commitment to helping farmers improve their efficiency and sustainably increase their yields through innovative drone technology.
Seeding and spraying by drone improve pasture productivity and sustainability in Brazil
The report presents several case studies on the use of agricultural drones for various crops in different countries. In Brazil, farmers have deployed DJI Agras T25P, T70P, and T100 drones, covering precision operations throughout the forage management cycle, improving forage renewal efficiency, and pasture productivity. For example, using drones to more precisely treat weed patches through targeted spraying can reduce herbicide use by up to 35%. Additionally, spraying and seeding by drones throughout the process also offer environmental protection benefits by eliminating soil compaction, reducing chemical drift near sensitive ecosystems, and decreasing the carbon footprint of livestock.
Improvement of field trials and academic studies promoting more compliant field operations
The report also documents several new field trials and academic studies providing credible and evidence-based validation of the benefits of agricultural spraying drones in terms of precision application, operational efficiency, economic benefits, and sustainability. Organizations such as UAPASTF have developed guidelines for safe and effective pesticide application, informed by updated studies on drone spraying drift in the field. Enhanced drift tests enable more precise, safer, and compliant field operations, making them a factor in precision agriculture and environmentally friendly crop protection.
