� DJI’ s drones boost efficiency by covering up to 20 hectares per day, compared to just one hectare with manual labour.

� Powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, the drones support sustainable farming and help reduce carbon emissions.

� The latest models offer fast nine-minute charging and can spray, spread, or transport up to 100 kilograms over a distance of two kilometres.

The company continues to make strides in transforming traditional agricultural practices with high-tech solutions tailored to the region’ s specific needs.

PT TSIT General Manager Commercial Nicko Arywibowo shared that DJI currently holds over 70 per cent of the global agriculture drone market. The brand is steadily expanding its reach in Indonesia through a robust network of 12 leading distributors and more than 40 sub-dealers nationwide.

drones can complete up to 20 hectares per day, significantly boosting productivity.

The drones are powered by lithium batteries, which can be charged using regular household electricity or an EV charging facility. This energy-efficient approach supports sustainable farming practices by reducing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.

One standout feature is the ultra-fast charging capability, which charges the drone from 20 per cent to full capacity in just nine minutes. This innovation allows farmers to maximise their working time in the field without unnecessary delays.

IMPACT OF DRONES Arywibowo also emphasised the positive impact of drones in fertiliser application and crop monitoring. He said that the integration of technology plays a crucial role in helping Indonesia become more self-sufficient in food production and reduce reliance on imports.

He expressed hope for stronger government support, stating that Indonesia should aim to deploy at least 1,000 to 1,500 drones annually to support agricultural growth. Arywibowo believes events like InagriTech are essential platforms for raising awareness and advancing the adoption of modern technology in farming.

With DJI’ s advanced drone solutions, Indonesian agriculture is moving towards a more productive, efficient, and sustainable future.

FROG Indonesia is at the forefront of smart farming innovation, utilising its homegrown drone technology to address the unique challenges of agriculture in Indonesia and the broader Southeast Asian region.

At InagriTech, Frog Indonesia Chief Executive Officer( CEO) Adhitya Chandra introduced the company’ s flagship agricultural drones and shared insights into how they are revolutionising the farming landscape.

Initially focused on passenger drone research and development( R & D), Frog Indonesia has since expanded into agriculture, aerial mapping, cargo, defence, and drone entertainment.

Their agricultural drones, Srikandi and Sekar Agri, are designed to support the entire farming cycle, from planting to harvesting.

Srikandi is a multi-functional drone equipped with interchangeable payloads, allowing it to perform tasks such as multispectral imaging for soil analysis, spraying fertiliser, or spreading seeds.

Sekar Agri is explicitly designed for spraying and seed distribution. These drones can also monitor crop health and identify areas affected by pests or disease, enabling targeted intervention and minimising waste.

PRECISION FARMING

All data collected is converted into easy-to-use dashboards that help farmers and government agencies make informed decisions. This integration of precision farming tools aims to increase efficiency and boost productivity in the agricultural sector.

What sets Frog Indonesia apart is its commitment to domestic innovation. The drones are manufactured locally in partnership with small Indonesian industries, including the production of critical components such as hardware and spare parts. This approach supports local ecosystems and reduces dependency on imported technology.

Frog Indonesia’ s drones are powered by batteries instead of fuel, producing a carbon footprint of less than 10 per cent throughout the manufacturing and usage process. This environmentally friendly solution aligns with global calls for more sustainable agricultural practices.

The company also collaborated with government agencies, such as the National Research and Innovation Agency of Indonesia( BRIN), and universities, including Universitas Gadjah Mada( UGM) and Institut Teknologi Bandung( ITB), to develop advanced technologies, including flight controllers and motors. Through the Kedaireka programme, they support research and talent development nationwide.

Having participated in InagriTech for the third time, Frog Indonesia aims to see the event evolve into a platform that promotes locally-made technology both nationally and internationally. With a strong commitment to sustainability and innovation, Frog Indonesia is positioning itself as a leader in the future of smart agriculture.- @ AGROBiz
