In a groundbreaking collaboration, the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative (IFFCO) has partnered with Drone Destination to introduce cutting-edge drone technology for agricultural purposes.

Drone Destination, the recent IPO sensation, will offer Agriculture Spray Services at 50 PMKSKs across nine states in the country. This collaboration seeks to assist farmers in spraying IFFCO's revolutionary products, Nano Urea and Nano DAP, along with other vital nutrients on their crops using state-of-the-art drones.
