01
Spraying & application
UAV spraying, spot-spraying and granular spreading — cut chemical use and reach terrain ground rigs can't.
Independent · Vendor-agnostic · South Africa
Robotics, matched to your fields — not to one brand.
AlterAgro is an independent agri-robotics integrator and advisor. We help farms and agribusinesses choose, deploy and run the right drones, sensors and autonomous machines — across every major manufacturer.

What we deliver
Four ways robotics pays back on the farm
We don't sell a single box. We assemble the right mix of hardware, software and operating support around your crops, your terrain and your budget.
02
Crop sensing & mapping
Multispectral and NDVI scouting, plant counts and yield maps that turn flights into agronomic decisions.
03
Autonomous field robots
Robotic weeding, seeding and autonomous tool carriers — for labour-tight, high-value and repetitive work.
04
Data & advisory
Independent technology selection, ROI modelling, and integration into the agronomy and systems you already run.
Why independent matters
A box-mover sells you a drone. We solve a problem.
Most agri-robotics in South Africa is sold by single-brand dealers. Their answer is always the product on their shelf. Ours starts with your field.
- Brand-neutral recommendations — we specify what fits, then source it.
- Whole-farm thinking — robotics that plugs into your existing equipment and agronomy.
- Accountable delivery — procurement, RPAS compliance, training and support in one hand.
- Honest economics — if robotics won't pay back on your operation, we'll tell you.
How an engagement runs
From field walk to working fleet
Assess
A field and operations audit: crops, terrain, labour, current kit and the jobs worth automating.
Specify
A vendor-agnostic recommendation with a clear rand-per-hectare business case — no pressure to buy.
Deploy
Procurement, integration and SACAA-aware setup, so the equipment is legal and ready on day one.
Support
Operator training, maintenance and ongoing optimisation as your needs and the technology evolve.
Across the sector
Built for how South Africa actually farms
Different crops, different robots. We map the technology to the operation — from open-field grain to high-value orchards.
Row crops & grain
Drone scouting and spot-spraying across maize, wheat, soya and sunflower at scale.
Orchards & vineyards
Canopy spraying, tree counts and disease detection where ground access is hard.
Livestock & pasture
Pasture monitoring, herd checks and infrastructure inspection over large rangelands.
Plantation & forestry
Survey, health mapping and targeted treatment over difficult, extensive terrain.
