In an effort to advance agricultural practices in India, the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) has teamed up with Marut Drones for a comprehensive drone spraying initiative across approximately 5 lakh acres in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

This strategic partnership will leverage Marut Drones’ advanced drone technology to distribute a variety of agricultural products developed by IFFCO Agri-products, with the goal of boosting crop yields and reducing environmental impact. The collaboration is set to improve agricultural productivity and implement sustainable practices in the targeted regions.

A notable aspect of this partnership is the support it provides to rural entrepreneurs who have invested in drone technology, offering drones as a service (DAAS) to local farmers. This model not only promotes local entrepreneurship but also makes cutting-edge agricultural technology accessible on a pay-per-acre basis, even to small-scale farmers. Additionally, those interested in joining the initiative can benefit from government subsidies to purchase agricultural drones.

DAAS allows farmers to hire drone services from rural entrepreneurs, ensuring cost-effective and accessible solutions. Drone owners and service providers partnering with Marut can also receive incentives for using IFFCO products in their operations.

Prem Kumar, Co-founder and CEO of Marut Drones, highlighted the benefits of the partnership, saying, “This collaboration signifies a paradigm shift in farming practices, allowing farmers to minimize direct contact with pesticides, thereby safeguarding their health. Furthermore, the utilization of drones addresses labor shortages by completing tasks in a fraction of the time it would take manually, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.”

The collaboration between IFFCO and Marut Drones aims to create a more efficient and resilient farming ecosystem. Through the adoption of drone technology, the initiative seeks to empower farmers, stimulate economic growth, and secure food security for the future.
