Drone precision agriculture in Agen
Valley market gardens, hillside cereals: around Agen, growing conditions change from one plot to the next. The drone maps them objectively, from sowing to harvest. From Pont-canal d'Agen to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Agen and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
The Agen economy relies on food production (IGP prunes, the fruit-and-vegetable sector of Lot-et-Garonne, France's leading orchard), the pioneering Agropole food-tech park, the national prison-service academy (ENAP) and SUA rugby. Drone missions: precision agriculture and orchards, agri-food communication, real estate, construction monitoring, canal river tourism. Prefecture of Lot-et-Garonne, halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse, Agen is inseparable from its prune — the ente plum dries on the surrounding hillsides — and from its 539-metre canal bridge, one of France's longest, carrying the lateral canal across the Garonne: a splendid aerial subject.

€8–30 per hectare — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Every mission in Agen is priced on its own facts: area to cover, flight height, expected deliverable and local formalities.
Flying in Agen: the local framework
Some plots around Agen fall under controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Agen-La Garenne (LFBA)): agricultural flights remain possible there at low height after a protocol, with no impact on map quality.
Agricultural flights use the open category over the farm's own plots, away from third parties; drone spraying remains under a strict experimental framework in France — we only provide imagery and diagnostics. Full regulations and rates: precision agriculture across France →

Frequently asked questions
Precision agriculture in Agen: what budget should you plan?
Allow €8–30 per hectare — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Agen, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
What does the drone see that I cannot from the edge of my field near Agen?
Multispectral imagery measures canopy reflectance: it reveals nitrogen or water stress one to two weeks before it becomes visible to the eye. On Nouvelle-Aquitaine farms, that converts into prescription maps your equipment can use directly.
Can the drone spray my fields?
Yes, within a precise derogation framework since law 2025-365 and its spring 2026 implementing texts: plots with slopes of at least 20%, banana plantations and grapevine mother stock, only with biocontrol, organic-approved or low-risk products. Outside that framework, aerial spraying remains prohibited; we then provide the maps that optimise your conventional sprayer passes.
