FarmSky Technologies

What FarmSky Technologies does

FarmSky Technologies (ファームスカイテクノロジー) is the drone business division of Fukuda Nougki Co., Ltd. (福田農機株式会社), a Japanese agricultural machinery company headquartered in Kagamino Town, Tomata County, Okayama Prefecture. Operating within the parent's agricultural machinery segment, FarmSky resells DJI-manufactured drones — the AGRAS T-10/T-25/T-50 agricultural spraying line, MAVIC and MATRICE aerial-photography/industrial models, and the FlyCart 30 transport drone introduced in February 2024 — and distributes FJD (FJ Dynamics) smart agriculture robotics including AT2/AT2 MAX and eSteer10/eSteer20 MAX auto-steering systems, the AL02 RTK leveler, and FR4000/RM21 robotic mowers.

Beyond hardware distribution, FarmSky is a certified National License Registered Training Organization (国家ライセンス登録講習機関), delivering government-recognized drone pilot licensing and agricultural/industrial drone training through its FarmSky Training Center. The company also provides drone inspection and maintenance services and operates an e-commerce storefront at farmskytech.shop-pro.jp alongside direct sales at headquarters and an agent/dealer recruitment program to broaden reach across Japan.

Commercial activity is concentrated in Japan's Chugoku Region and surrounding prefectures, with primary customers including farmers and agricultural cooperatives needing precision spraying, plus surveying/inspection, forestry, and tourism end-uses. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (drones and smart-agriculture robots), training course fees, and recurring inspection/maintenance contracts; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The strategic narrative is that of a regional drone-and-precision-agriculture distributor extending from a parent agricultural-machinery platform into national scale via dealer expansion and Kubota co-marketing.
