Thereby digital and communication technologies are designed to assist farmers to turn agriculture into high-tech industry. The introduction of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is one of the most progressive and perspective trends in the agricultural sector. In addition to improving of efficiency, productivity and rationalization of the production processes, the technology is expected to bring a wide share of jobs opportunities.
