Horizon Agri

What Horizon Agri does

Horizon Agri Ltd is a UK private limited company based in Bodmin, Cornwall, founded to deliver commercial drone services to the agricultural, solar-energy, and horticultural sectors. The company operates a nationwide service from a South West England base, quoting and dispatching work via direct phone and email contact to individual farmers, growers, landowners, and solar site operators. The single disclosed founder brings over fifteen years of practical UK farming experience, positioning the offering as the combination of agronomic credibility with drone operations.

The core technology stack is built on DJI commercial drone platforms: the DJI Agras T50 (approximately 40 kg liquid and 50 kg granular payload) for high-capacity precision spraying and spreading, and the DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral for aerial mapping and crop-health analysis using four-band multispectral imagery and NDVI/NDRE vegetation indices. Software integration with DJI Terra and DJI SmartFarm supports prescription mapping and flight planning. Adjacent capabilities include drone-mounted cleaning systems for solar panel and greenhouse/polytunnel applications. The company states CAA compliance and full insurance for commercial drone operations.

Horizon Agri generates revenue through professional-services engagements across three product lines: (1) Agricultural Drone Services — precision spraying, aerial seeding, and field/crop mapping; (2) Solar Panel Cleaning Services — aerial cleaning of solar farms and commercial installations using specialist low-water cleaning systems; and (3) Greenhouse and Polytunnel Drone Services — aerial cleaning, shading application, and inspection. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. In April 2026, the company raised £50,000 in seed funding (£25,000 Start Up Loan + £25,000 South West Investment Fund, both delivered by SWIG Finance) to support service expansion across the UK. The company has been featured in regional and broadcast media including ITV South West News, Business Cornwall, Business Live, and Hit Radio.

Core offering

Horizon Agri provides drone-based agricultural and commercial cleaning services across the UK, delivering precision crop spraying, aerial seeding, field and crop mapping, solar panel cleaning, and greenhouse and polytunnel cleaning and shading using DJI commercial drone platforms. The company combines practical farming experience with drone technology to serve farmers, growers, landowners, solar site operators, and horticulture operations nationwide from its Cornwall base.

Product overview

Horizon Agri offers a portfolio of agricultural and commercial drone services powered by DJI drone platforms (DJI Agras T50 and DJI Mavic 3M). The core offering spans three service areas: Agricultural Drone Services (precision spraying, aerial seeding, field/crop mapping), Solar Panel Cleaning Services (drone-based panel cleaning for solar farms), and Greenhouse & Polytunnel Drone Services (cleaning, shading, and inspection). The DJI T50 handles high-capacity spraying and spreading operations, while the DJI Mavic 3M enables precision mapping and crop health analysis through multispectral imaging.

Direct peers

• DroneAg: UK-based agricultural drone services company offering crop spraying, mapping and precision agronomy using DJI platforms — a direct functional competitor to Horizon Agri's core agriculture service line.
• PrecisionHawk: Drone-based aerial data and analytics provider for agriculture, energy and infrastructure — comparable to Horizon Agri's multispectral mapping and inspection capabilities, though with a more developed software platform.
• Outfield Technologies: UK drone-based precision agriculture analytics startup focused on orchard and row-crop monitoring — overlaps with Horizon Agri's aerial mapping and crop health assessment offering.
• Hummingbird Technologies: UK-based drone and satellite imagery analytics provider for precision agriculture, offering crop health monitoring, NDVI/NDRE mapping and prescription services — directly comparable to the mapping/monitoring capability Horizon Agri delivers with the DJI Mavic 3M.
• Aerial Motion Aerial Solutions: UK drone services company providing aerial spraying, surveying and inspection using commercial UAVs — competes with Horizon Agri for the same agricultural spraying and mapping engagements.

Others

• Heliguy: UK drone retailer, training provider and commercial services operator — adjacent ecosystem player that supplies equipment and pilot training to operators like Horizon Agri and also runs competing commercial drone work.

Broad incumbents

• XAG: Global agricultural drone manufacturer and service operator (XAG P-series spraying drones) — broader incumbent defining the category and a potential future competitor or technology supplier for UK drone spraying services.
• DJI Agriculture: Manufacturer of the Agras T50 and Mavic 3M platforms Horizon Agri operates — broader incumbent that could vertically integrate into UK spraying services or enable new entrants via easier equipment access.
• Skyports Drone Services: Established UK and international drone services operator with broad capabilities across inspection, delivery and surveying — broader incumbent competing for enterprise drone services work and setting category benchmarks.

Emerging players

• DronePrep: UK drone services marketplace and planning platform connecting drone operators with landowners — partially overlaps Horizon Agri's agricultural customer base and could either compete or serve as a channel partner.
