By Think Real - On 10 January, 2017, Longzhixiang Intelligence Sci-Tech Co., Ltd. (Longzhixiang), a joint venture established by Jiangsu Rotam Chemistry Co. Ltd. (Rotam) and GEOSAT Aerospace & Technology Inc. (GEOSAT), opened business officially in Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province.

“Though our sales of pesticides are in the lead, we still have a large development potential,” stated Luo Changgeng, President of Rotam, “We will step up the sales by offering UAV services. Longzhixiang is not for the sensationalization of UAV, but for the provision of crop solutions.”

Reportedly, Longzhixiang will set up a crop protection team specifically for a series of work such as the training of UAV operators, and will integrate all resources and establish crop protection service stations nationwide based on Rotam’s sales channels. All this will enable the company to provide services for farmers in a convenient and rapid fashion.

Rotam is another large-scale pesticide manufacturer involved in the UAV business, after Guangxi Tianyuan Biochemistry Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Kwin Group Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Noposion Agrochemicals Co., Ltd., etc.
