ABOUT CROPTIC

Fewer inputs. Better crop.

Croptic was founded from a simple observation: farmers often treat their entire fields, while weed pressure is unevenly distributed.

THE STORY

How Croptic started

Croptic was born from a simple observation: farmers often treat their entire fields, while weed pressure is unevenly distributed. By combining drone imagery with accurate AI detection, we want to change that.

Not with complex software, but with a simple task map that works directly on the machine. No new machine. No retraining. Just spray where it's needed.

MILESTONES

From idea to task map.

2023

First drone images, first detections

We find that farmers structurally overuse inputs. Existing machines can work more precisely but the data is missing. The idea for Croptic is born. The first fields are flown. The AI model detects weeds for the first time.

2024

First pilots in BE & NL

Croptic delivers the first task maps to real farmers. The sprayers run on a task map without extra hardware.

2025

Commercial launch. proven at scale

30+ clients. 86% average input savings. Task maps are now flown and generated at scale.

2026

Now

Croptic continues to grow in Belgium and the Netherlands. First steps are being taken into new countries.

Our team

Help build precision agriculture that works.

Croptic is a small team with a concrete goal: helping contractors and arable farmers spray less without adding to their workload. We're not a big company with slow decisions, what you build is live in the field next week. We're looking for people who like working close to the product, take farmer feedback seriously, and don't need a written-out job description to move forward.
