DRONE MARKET TO REACH $10.5 BILLION

A Kenya Airways employee controls an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as it spreads pesticide over a tea farm at Kipkebe Tea Estate in Musereita. The agricultural drone market is expected to grow in the coming years, with some reports suggesting it could reach $10.5 billion by 2028. Kenya, a country vulnerable to drought and food insecurity in some areas, is investing in agricultural technology in the hope to reduce costs and increasing crop yields. — AFP
