Kono Digital - Drones for more sustainable agriculture

« We are looking forward to increase the farmers’ yields using technological tools, especially drones, » said Moussa YARBANGA, Manager of Kono Digital. UAVs designed locally and used for spreading, irrigation, mapping, and, especially, training pilots, maintenance workers and specialists in UAV-assisted aerospace remote sensing.

In addition, the restitution of UAV-made images and the acquisition of information for the benefit of agronomists, researchers, farmers, environmentalists and decision-makers are very useful forecasting tools. Finally, as part of the implementation of its technical assistance project for the producers in fighting against crop attacks and phytosanitary diseases, Kono Digital has started a cycle of training courses for young people in rural areas, through agreements with agricultural schools and training centers. The start-up is seeking to give young people, who have already a good expertise of basic agriculture, additional certified vocational training in the areas of technology and drone handling.
