Delta Drone International signs contract with Corteva

The eight-month, fixed-term contract will help to grow multi-national customer base

Delta Drone International has secured a contract with Corteva Agriscience RSA in South Africa, adding to the company’s growing multi-national customer base. The eight-month, fixed-term contract was signed after Delta Drone International successfully provided its leading drones-as-a-service capabilities across several ad-hoc agriculture projects for the conglomerate over the last two years.

Delta Drone International will provide a full-time specialist agriculture drone pilot to deploy state-of-the-art agriculture-specific drones to capture a range of vital data including plant analytics to ensure maximum yield for crops such as maize, soybeans and sunflowers for Pioneer Seed RSA (Pioneer), a subsidiary of Corteva.

Delta Drone International CEO, Christopher Clark said, “Obtaining the data required to assess crop health on time has historically been a challenge for the agriculture sector. With our fleet of state-of-the-art agriculture-specific drones and drone pilots who specialise in flying in agricultural settings, we can more accurately obtain the data and provide it to customers much faster so they can take more effective action to maximise yields.”
