🌾 PRECISION AGRICULTURE · BASTIA (2B) · €8–30 PER HECTARE
Drone precision agriculture in Bastia
In the hinterland of Bastia, between maritime influence and farmland, the multispectral drone maps crop vigour and targets operations — sowing, fertilising, drainage — as close as possible to real needs. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Bastia and its department (2B) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
Corsica's leading port and the island's gateway, Bastia squeezes its amphitheatre-shaped old harbour between the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church and the Genoese citadel of Terra Nova; Saint-Nicolas square, the rooftops of Terra Vecchia and the Cap Corse road make up the rest of the scenery. Bastia-Poretta airport (LFKB) lies 16 km south in the plain, but its CTR runs up the coastline: checks are required for any flight south of the city. The commercial port, vital to the island's supply chain, is a sensitive site. Bastia's economy rests on the port (France's leading international passenger port, serving Italy and the mainland), commerce, the Haute-Corse administration and food production (clementines, nearby Patrimonio wines).

Rates
€8–30 per hectare — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. The exact quote depends on the site, the deliverable and the airspace context in Bastia.
Airspace and formalities in Bastia
Some plots around Bastia fall under controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport de Bastia-Poretta (LFKB) au sud): 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 Bastia: what budget should you plan?
Allow €8–30 per hectare — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Bastia, 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 Bastia?
Multispectral imagery measures canopy reflectance: it reveals nitrogen or water stress one to two weeks before it becomes visible to the eye. On Corse farms, that converts into prescription maps your equipment can use directly.
Are the application maps compatible with my equipment?
Yes: we export to ISOXML and shapefile formats read by John Deere, Trimble, Raven and Kuhn consoles and most ISOBUS terminals, as well as to common agronomy platforms.
