DJI Takes Its Agras Crop-Spraying Drones Global: T30 and T10 Launch in 100 New Countries

DJI announced that as of August 9, 2021, its Agras T30 and T10 agricultural spraying drones are now available in more than 100 additional countries, having previously been sold mainly in China. The flagship T30 carries a 30-liter spray tank and covers about 40 dunams per hour, while the more compact T10 is designed for small, fragmented plots.

From China outward: DJI exports its dominance in the spraying market

The Agras line has already become a dominant player in China's agricultural drone market, where it enjoys a multi-year head start over competitors. Now DJI is trying to replicate that success on a global scale, positioning both models as a solution for a wide range of farm sizes, from massive estates to small, fragmented plots that require precise rather than blanket spraying.

T30: a 30-liter tank and angled spraying technology

The flagship of the series is built around a spreading system with a payload capacity of up to 40 kg, and features technology DJI calls branch spraying, a method in which spraying is carried out at an angle rather than straight down. The idea is to penetrate more effectively into dense plant canopies, where standard vertical spraying tends to leave gaps in coverage.

• Tank capacity: 30 liters
• Payload capacity for the spreading system: up to 40 kg
• Number of spray nozzles: 16
• Spray range: 9 meters
• Coverage rate: about 40 dunams per hour
• Build: rugged carbon body, folds down to about 20 percent of its unfolded volume

T10 targets small plots and tighter budgets

Farmers managing small or fragmented land split across several plots get a lighter, cheaper, and less cumbersome alternative in the T10. Its performance is lower than the T30's, but it still relies on the same safety platform.

• Tank capacity: 8 liters
• Spray width: 5 meters
• Coverage rate: about 15 dunams per hour

Spherical radar, FPV cameras, and a spotlight for nighttime work

Both models share an identical sensor package designed to enable operation even in less-than-ideal field conditions. This includes spherical obstacle-avoidance radar rated to function in heavy dust or low light, alongside front and rear FPV cameras and a spotlight that enables spraying flights after dark.

The open question is how many farmers outside China, accustomed to spraying with tractors or light aircraft, will actually adopt a drone platform that requires training, regulatory approvals that vary from country to country, and ongoing maintenance of batteries and sprayers. DJI itself presents the move as an attempt to make aerial precision agriculture accessible to a broader range of farm sizes, but real-world success will be measured against local players who already know the regulations and terrain in each country.
