If you want a snapshot of where farming is headed, look no further than a drone hovering over a soybean field in Brazil. At this year’s Agrishow 2026, DJI rolled out its latest Agricultural Drone Industry Insight Report, and the numbers are hard to ignore. More than 600,000 DJI agricultural drones are now deployed across 100+ countries, operated by over 600,000 trained pilots.
From niche tech to everyday farm tool
DJI says its agri drones have already helped save 410 million tons of water globally — roughly equal to the annual drinking needs of 740 million people. On top of that, they’ve reduced carbon emissions by 51 million tons, comparable to planting 240 million trees. That kind of impact is why countries like Brazil are leaning in hard.
According to DJI’s report, drones are now widely used across Brazilian agriculture — from coffee and corn to soybeans and sugarcane. Farmers are using models like the DJI Agras T25P, DJI Agras T70P, and DJI Agras T100 for everything from seeding to precision spraying.
And the efficiency gains are real. Spot-spraying weeds with drones can cut herbicide use by up to 35%, while also avoiding soil compaction from heavy machinery.
