Abstract
In recent years agricultural production has increased substantially and mostly fuelled by an increase in global population from 7 to 9 billion people by 2050, the demand for agricultural products has be estimated to increased by 69 percent during the same time frame. Limiting workload, costs of goods and maximizing yields will be vitally important in the achieving the higher growth of agricultural sector in the Asia-Pacific region. Hence, to fill the gap between current agricultural production and the needs of the future, drone technology and advanced image data analytics with the capabilities is the only feasible answer for this urgent call for increased agricultural production.
