The collaboration between PROPELLER DRONES and the Farming Workers' Organization will allow field crop growers in Israel to be at the forefront of international trends in the field of sustainable and precision agriculture.
The trend of reducing the use of tractors and polluting and expensive spraying and irrigation planes and moving to more precise, sustainable and technological agriculture is strengthening: the Farming Workers' Organization, which represents the growers of field crops in 270 kibbutzim, moshavim and settlements throughout the country, signed a partnership agreement with the drone services company PROPELLER DRONES.
Founded by entrepreneurs with experience, Proplor is a leading company in its field, which is managed by entrepreneurs with rich experience in the commercial and security operation of unmanned aerial vehicles and provides a wide range of advanced drone services to dozens of companies, organizations and authorities. For example: aerial mapping, field measurements, thermographic analyzes for solar fields, process control, safety and defect detection, security and protection, pest control and spraying, flying and operation in technological development processes and more.
In addition, Proplor operates the largest training center in Israel for licensing commercial drone operators, which allows obtaining a commercial license to operate drones in the various categories (up to 4 kg / up to 25 kg / up to 2,000 kg) on behalf of the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel.
As part of the cooperation with the segmentation workers' organization, Propeller Drones will provide the organization's members with drones, peripheral equipment and professional training for drone applications in the agriculture industry.
Unmanned aerial vehicles allow growers to take their business to the next level, while implementing capabilities to detect diseases and pests in the field alongside the application of new irrigation and spraying techniques. The use of drones saves manpower, creates maximum availability, saves spraying materials, optimizes the protection of the environment and is a central tool in realizing the vision of precision agriculture.
David Levy, CEO of the Fellah Workers' Organization: "As an organization that represents 270 field crop growers throughout the country, from the Arabah to the Golan Heights, it is important for us to promote the trends in the world of agriculture, which speak of precision agriculture. We chose Propeller Drones as our partners for training farmers to operate a drone under a RTA license, with professional support for extensive uses that will allow them independence, efficiency, financial savings and preservation of the environment."
Itamar Kohli CEO and founder of the company PROPELLER DRONES: "In recent years, development processes of drone-based technologies are on the rise. Using drones speeds up processes and optimizes many industries. Our cooperation with the Farming Workers' Organization will allow field crop growers in Israel to be at the forefront of international trends in the field of sustainable and precision agriculture, and we are happy and excited to take part in this blessed process."
