Aerial spraying adjuvants‘ unprecedented demand in Brazil is due to DJI’s increasing share of the agricultural drone market.
SÃO PAULO, Brazil – The rapid expansion of DJI Agricultural Drones in Brazil is set to dramatically increase the demand for high-performance tank-mix adjuvants, including aerial spraying adjuvants, surfactants, and deposition aids. As Latin America’s agricultural powerhouse embraces precision aerial application, adjuvant manufacturers have a golden opportunity to tailor solutions for this evolving market.
According to recent market data, DJI has increased its share in Brazil’s agricultural drone sector by 62% year-over-year, making it the dominant provider of unmanned aerial systems for crop spraying. This growth is driving larger-scale adoption of drone-based application – a trend that directly benefits suppliers of specialized agrochemical adjuvants.
“Drones require formulations that maximize efficiency under low-volume, ultra-fine spray conditions,” said Dr. Ana Silva, an agronomist specializing in aerial application. “Aerial spraying adjuvants that enhance coverage, reduce evaporation, and improve rainfastness are no longer optional – they are essential.”
Strategies for Adjuvant Suppliers Entering or Expanding in Brazil:
-
Develop low-foam, high-transcrop surfactant blends suited for drone tank mixes.
-
Offer anti-evaporation polymers that minimize droplet loss in tropical climates.
-
Provide deposition enhancers that combat spray drift in windy conditions common in open fields.
-
Partner with local distributors and DJI-approved service providers to build trust with farmers.
-
Conduct field demonstrations alongside drone operators to showcase adjuvant performance in key crops like soy, corn, and sugarcane.
“The adjuvant market will grow in parallel with drone adoption,” said Marcos Oliveira, a precision farming consultant in Brasília. “Companies that educate farmers on the value of tank-mix additives will win in this new era.”
DJI’s growth reflects a broader shift toward digital farming in Brazil. Adjuvant producers who act now – with tailored products and strong technical support – are poised to capture this high-value market.
