United States: Recent Industry Developments

✅ In November 2025, Hylio received an EPA exemption allowing its swarm of heavy-lift drones to spray larger U.S. crop fields The regulatory win permits a single operator to control three drones simultaneously for industrial-scale application It significantly increases the efficiency of aerial application for U.S. corn and soy farmers

✅ In October 2025, Guardian Agriculture ramped up production of its SC1 autonomous eVTOL sprayers in Massachusetts The system is the first fully electric aerial applicator to operate commercially on U.S. farms It offers a sustainable alternative to crop dusting planes for precision chemical delivery

✅ In September 2025, Sentera integrated its high-resolution drone imagery with John Deere's Operations Center The partnership allows U.S. farmers to generate prescription maps for weeds and send them directly to sprayers It closes the loop between drone scouting and ground-based action in precision ag

✅ In August 2025, Rantizo launched a "Drone-as-a-Service" franchise model across the U.S. Midwest The network connects independent drone operators with farmers needing spot-spraying services It democratizes access to advanced ag-tech for small and medium-sized U.S. farms

Japan: Recent Industry Developments

✅ In December 2025, Nileworks raised Series D funding to expand its "smart agriculture" drone fleet for rice cultivation The drones use AI to analyze rice growth stage and apply fertilizer with centimeter-level precision It automates the most labor-intensive parts of rice farming for Japan's aging growers

✅ In November 2025, Kubota Corporation unveiled a new "cooperative" system linking its automated tractors with monitoring drones The drone acts as a scout to detect obstacles and crop health issues ahead of the ground vehicle. It enhances the safety and efficiency of autonomous farming in Japan

✅ In October 2025, Yamaha Motor launched the FAZER R G2, a new industrial helicopter drone with increased payload for steep terrain The drone is specifically designed to spray tea plantations and orchards on Japanese mountain slopes It preserves Japan's hillside agriculture which is difficult to mechanize

✅ In September 2025, The Japanese Ministry of Agriculture (MAFF) announced a subsidy for adopting drone seeding technology The program encourages farmers to use drones for direct-seding rice to skip the nursery phase It aims to lower rice production costs and save labor hours in Japan
