About Us

What we do

AgriLift is the marketplace where South African farmers book SACAA-aligned drone operators for crop spraying, mapping, and related services. Farmers map their fields, get transparent R/ha quotes from verified pilots, and pay with secure escrow. Operators find jobs in their area, submit quotes, and get paid when the job is done.

We also support total farm coverage: Digitize your tractor spray records with automatic weather data (temperature, wind, Delta T) so every application is audit-ready. One platform for drone bookings and compliant spray logs, whether the work is done by drone or tractor.

What we stand for

• Compliance first. POPIA-compliant data handling, SACAA-aligned pilots, and GlobalGAP-ready spray logs so farmers and operators operate within the law.
• Verified matching. Transparent quotes from PCO-licensed pilots. Compare by equipment, proximity, and rating. No guesswork.
• Audit-ready records. Automated weather and spray logs for every job, so you’re ready for export and GlobalGAP audits without the paperwork.

When we started

AgriLift was founded in 2025 to fill a gap in the market. There was no dedicated platform for South African farmers and drone operators to find each other, compare quotes, and manage bookings with trust and transparency. In 2026 we’re focused on expanding that with hybrid tractor logging, weather integration, and flexible payment options for established commercial farms.

Why we started

I looked into becoming a drone operator and hit a barrier. The required medical and colour-vision tests ruled me out due to being colour blind. I couldn’t fly, so I looked at the industry from the outside. I saw farmers and operators still connecting through word of mouth, WhatsApp groups, and ad hoc arrangements. There was no single place to post a job, get comparable quotes from verified pilots, and pay with confidence. That’s why I built AgriLift, to give farmers and operators a proper place to connect, with compliance, escrow, and audit-ready records built in.
