For many years in Kenya, farmers have relied on handheld sprayers or surveyors in mapping their farms or application of chemicals as countries such as Ghana, Rwanda and South Africa have for years been using drone technology for these activities.
However, the recent legalising of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, has come as a major boost to the farming community.
Farmers are now accessing this technology, which has been touted to cut costs and save on time taken to perform activities such as farming.
Several firms have come up to offer these services with large-scale farmers embracing the technology.
