Thailand's iconic durian farms are getting a high-tech makeover! 🌍 As climate change and an aging workforce challenge the nation's agricultural backbone, farmers are turning to Chinese-made drone technology to safeguard their 'King of Fruits' harvests.
DJI Agriculture drones – buzzing through orchards like sci-fi helpers – now monitor crop health, spray pesticides with precision, and collect real-time data. 🚜💡 This innovation comes as Thailand battles rising temperatures threatening its position as the world's #1 durian producer.
'The drones cut our labor costs by 70%,' shared a Pattaya-based grower, while maintaining the fruit's legendary quality. With 90% of Thailand's durians exported to the Chinese mainland, this tech partnership could reshape Asia's food supply chains. 📈
