The tractor tax
Every boom pass costs you bags an acre before harvest
Ground rigs crush standing crop, compact your soil, carry ratoon disease on their tyres and sit idle for a week when the black cotton turns. Meanwhile rust, aphids and armyworm do not wait for a dry Tuesday.
- Wheel-track losses: 3%–5% of a standing wheat or cane block destroyed every pass.
- Missed windows: a fungicide applied six days late is a fungicide half wasted.
- Water logistics: high-volume ground spraying means bowsers, fuel, labour and time.
- Labour risk: knapsack teams exposed to concentrate, uneven coverage, no audit trail.

Full-service aerial agronomy
Sixteen services, one field crew
Spraying is where most operators stop. FlyMint flies the full agronomic cycle — scout, prescribe, apply, verify — so the same telemetry that proves your spray plans the next one.
Herbicide & Weed Control
Pre- and post-emergence blanket or spot work, including selective knock-down on cane ratoons and mapped invasive-weed hotspots in pasture.
Sugarcane Ripener Application
Even ripener laydown over tall mature cane with zero stool damage — the single highest-return aerial job in the sugar belt.
Foliar Fertiliser & Biostimulants
Micronutrient, NPK foliar and biostimulant programmes timed to growth stage — repeat passes with no cumulative field damage.
Granular Fertiliser Spreading
Top-dressing CAN, urea and gypsum from the air at variable rate — over standing crop and ground a tractor cannot cross.
Aerial Seeding & Cover Crops
Broadcast seeding of pasture, cover crops, rice and fodder into standing stubble, flooded paddies and eroded margins.
RTK Farm Mapping & Acreage Audit
Centimetre-accurate boundary survey and block-by-block acreage reporting. Settles lease disputes, outgrower payments and input planning.
Multispectral Crop Health Scouting
Index maps that flag stress, gaps, waterlogging and pest hotspots early — so you treat the acres that need it, not all of them.
Variable-Rate Prescription Spraying
Scout map in, prescription out: dosage modulated zone by zone, cutting chemical spend while lifting efficacy where pressure is highest.
Tea, Coffee & Orchard Spraying
Precision work over sloping tea, coffee blocks, macadamia and avocado where tractors cannot enter and knapsack teams are slow and exposed.
Rice Paddy & Wetland Application
Flooded-field spraying and spreading — no bunds broken, no boots in bilharzia water, no waiting for drawdown.
Outbreak & Locust Response
Rapid-deployment crews for armyworm, quelea and migratory pest emergencies, coordinated with plant-protection authorities.
Larviciding & Vector Control
Mosquito and tsetse larviciding over dams, canals and swamp margins for estates, townships and county health units.
Seasonal Contract Programmes
Locked-in seasonal acreage for estates and outgrower boards, with guaranteed response windows and priority scheduling at peak.
Wet-Lease & Crew Supply
Own the acreage, not the asset: we station a complete aircraft, pilot and ground crew on your estate for a block of days.
Compliance, Training & Audit Packs
Spray records, regulatory documentation and audit-ready files — plus operator training for estates building in-house capability.
The iron
Heavy fleet, field-hardened logistics
Anyone can buy a drone. Throughput comes from the rig behind it — power, pumps, batteries and a crew drilled on turnaround times.
Precision-Class Aircraft
The all-terrain workhorse — orchards, hillsides, tea slopes and medium blocks with tight boundaries and heavy obstacle pressure. Sized for accuracy in awkward country.
Payload, work rate and power configuration: in the fleet brief.
Heavy Broad-Acre Aircraft
Among the heaviest agricultural multirotors in commercial service, built for flat wheat, cane and paddy at estate scale where every extra litre per lift is another few acres before refill.
Payload, work rate and power configuration: in the fleet brief.
Mobile batching rig
Double-cabin field truck with mixing capacity, closed chemical transfer and a covered pad for battery rotation.
Off-grid power
Inverter generator bank on the truck bed with continuous battery rotation — no mains, no downtime waiting on charge.
RTK ground station
Centimetre positioning, terrain-following flight and phased-array obstacle avoidance, day or night.
Trained ground crew
Pilot-in-command, chemical handler and battery technician, drilled on fast refill cycles under full PPE protocol.

How a job runs
From WhatsApp to telemetry report in 5 steps
Intake & boundary
Send acreage, crop, chemical and location. We pull the field boundaries and come back with a firm rate and a candidate window.
Safety sign-off
On arrival we walk the block with your manager: power lines, pylons, water buffers, wind, neighbour drift, re-entry intervals. Both parties sign.
Rig set-up
Truck stages at clean water, power up, ground station surveyed, batching begins. Wheels-up shortly after arrival.
Flight execution
Automated terrain-following passes with continuous crew rotation and fast refills until the block is closed out.
Proof & invoice
Digital coverage map, volume applied, dosage log and acreage verification handed over with the invoice. Nothing taken on trust.
Crops we fly
Built for broad-acre East Africa
Our economics work best on large contiguous blocks, but we also serve grouped smallholder schemes and outgrower boards that can consolidate neighbouring acreage into one booking.
- Wheat — rust, aphids, late fungicide
- Sugarcane — ripener, weed, foliar
- Barley — malting contracts
- Maize — fall armyworm
- Rice — paddy blast & blight
- Coffee — CBD & leaf rust
- Tea — foliar & mite control
- Hay & pasture — invasive weeds
- Horticulture — French bean, onion, tomato

The Grower Pack
We don't publish rates or operating detail on the open web — every serious enquiry gets it directly, usually the same working day.
- Rate card — per-acre pricing, block thresholds, season contract bands
- Service specification sheet — volumes, dosage envelopes, deliverables
- Fleet & capability brief — aircraft, payloads, verified work rates
- Coverage schedule — districts and windows for your region
- Compliance pack — licences, insurance, sample telemetry report
Growers, estate managers, mills and outgrower boards only. We ask for farm name and acreage so the pack we send is priced for your operation.
Cross-border operations
Two countries, one crew
Our rigs are road-mobile and cleared for cross-border transit, so a Kenyan wheat window and a northern Tanzanian barley window can be served in the same fortnight.
Kenya
We fly the major broad-acre zones:
- Rift Valley wheat and barley highlands
- Western and Nyanza sugar belt
- North Rift maize and seed-crop belt
- Central and eastern irrigated rice schemes
- Highland tea, coffee and export horticulture estates
District-level coverage and current spray windows are in the coverage schedule.
Tanzania
Cross-border crews serve:
- Northern highland wheat, barley and seed blocks
- Central maize, sunflower and pulse belt
- Southern sugar and rice valleys
- Southern highland cereals, tea and horticulture
- Coffee and irrigated estates on the northern slopes
District-level coverage and current spray windows are in the coverage schedule.
Straight answers
Questions estate managers actually ask
What does it cost per acre?
We price per acre, with a fixed rate for broad-acre blocks above a minimum size and better rates on season contracts. We issue the rate card directly rather than publishing it, because pricing depends on acreage, terrain, water access and distance from our nearest hub — and because our numbers are not for our competitors' planning meetings. Send acreage, crop and location and you will have a firm figure the same working day. Request the rate card.
How many acres can you actually cover in a day?
More than 300 acres with a single field unit. The limiting factor is rarely the aircraft — it is water access, dosage rate, field shape and obstacle density. When we quote your block we commit to a per-day figure for that specific field, and the verified work rates are in the fleet brief.
Is commercial drone spraying legal in Kenya and Tanzania?
Yes, under licence. Kenya requires KCAA aircraft registration, a Remote Operator Certificate, a Remote Pilot Licence with spraying privileges, third-party aviation liability insurance, and a PCPB permit for aerial chemical application. Tanzania requires TCAA registration and operating permits (with Ministry of Defence clearance for the aircraft) plus TPRI pesticide compliance. We can send certificate copies straight to your compliance or audit team.
Will chemical drift onto my neighbour's crop or into water?
Drift is managed three ways: droplet spectrum matched to the product, a hard wind limit above which we stand down, and mapped exclusion buffers around open water, homesteads and sensitive adjacent crops. All of it is recorded on the signed pre-flight intake form you keep a copy of.
Can you spray when the field is wet or the canopy is too tall?
That is exactly when we earn our keep. Nothing touches the soil, so we fly over waterlogged blocks, flooded paddies and three-metre cane when ground machinery is stuck or destructive — as long as the wind is inside our safety limit and there is no active heavy rain.
What do you need from me before the crew arrives?
Approved, in-date chemical with its registration number, a clean mixing water supply at the launch point, vehicle access for a double-cabin truck, disclosure of power lines and obstacles, and one authorised person to sign the safety intake form. Exact water volumes and staging requirements come with your quote.
How do I know the whole block was actually sprayed?
Every flight logs its own path. You receive a coverage map showing the treated polygon, volume applied, dosage per acre, timestamps and pilot ID, attached to the invoice. It doubles as an audit record for buyers and certification schemes. Ask for a sample report with your quote.
Can smallholders use this?
Individually the economics are tight; grouped, they work well. We book contiguous scheme blocks through cooperatives, outgrower boards and agrodealers so several farms are treated as one large job at the block rate.
Do you offer a demonstration?
Yes — a limited free demonstration spray on your most difficult block. Pick the corner that always gets stuck or trampled; that is the fastest way to see the difference. Ask about a demo.
Why isn't your pricing on the website?
Two reasons, and we would rather say them plainly. First, an honest per-acre figure depends on your acreage, terrain, water access and travel distance — a published number would be wrong for most farms. Second, we are building a young market and we do not intend to hand our commercial terms to competitors who have done none of the work. Serious enquiries get everything, fast.
