Kray in the Spotlight: AZoLifeSciences Features Our CEO on the Future of Agricultural Drones
Kray Technologies has been featured in a full interview on AZoLifeSciences, one of the leading global life sciences media platforms. In the piece titled “Digital Drone: New Technology to Improve Crop Yields,” Kray’s CEO and CTO Dmytro Surdu explains how the Kray Protection UAS is setting a new standard for industrial crop spraying — and why the world urgently needs it.
Dmytro walks readers through the core innovation behind Kray: combining ultra-low volume electrostatic spraying with a high-speed compound multirotor drone capable of covering up to 600 hectares per day at just 1 meter above the crop. This approach cuts application costs by 90% compared to conventional ground sprayers and agricultural planes, opening the door to a new era of precision, frequent spraying that was previously unaffordable for most farmers.
The interview also explores the broader vision: how inexpensive, autonomous drone spraying can accelerate the global transition to no-till farming, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and help close the yield gap that threatens food security by 2050.
Representing Ukraine’s agri-tech ecosystem on a continental stage, Kray presented its case for how autonomous drone spraying technology can transform crop management for mid-size farmers worldwide. The Startup World Cup is one of the most prestigious global startup competitions, and competing at the European finale marks a significant milestone in Kray’s journey toward international recognition and growth.
