Currently, we are expanding our drone air route network mainly in central Saga Prefecture, including Taku City, Ogi City, Karatsu City, and Omachi Town, and are working hard to socially implement drone delivery using DJI’s FlyCart30. This is the first time we have experimented with transporting agricultural products in cooperation with an agricultural corporation, and we aim to use this as an opportunity to further contribute to the local community. In particular, we believe that efficient collection and delivery of agricultural products such as asparagus, which have a high unit price, can reduce the burden on producers and increase profits, helping to create a new model for agriculture. Furthermore, as this technology is useful in disaster response, we would like to further deepen our collaboration with the government and all concerned parties, and be a presence that supports the safety and security of the region.
