Overview
XAG, headquartered in Guangzhou and founded in 2007 before pivoting to agriculture around 2013 under co-founders Peng Bin, a former Microsoft engineer, and Gong Jinqin, is a major Chinese agricultural-drone maker and a key competitor to DJI's Agras line. Its P-series and V-series drones perform autonomous crop spraying, seeding, and spreading using RTK-precision waypoint operation, aerial mapping, and variable-rate application, complemented by ground robots in an unmanned-farm platform, with throughput such as fifteen hectares per hour for the P40 and twenty for the P80.
Backed by the SoftBank Vision Fund as its largest external shareholder along with Baidu Capital and Hillhouse, XAG reported about 1.066 billion yuan of revenue in 2024 and turned profitable, with roughly 70 million yuan of net profit in 2024 and more than 130 million in the first half of 2025, about a 10.7 percent global agricultural-robot market share ranking it second, and a Hong Kong initial public offering in preparation. The registry records it at production maturity, the strongest commercial maturity in the commercial drone set, sold through a clean hardware-sales model to spraying-service operators and farmers rather than a captive service.
A regulatory note: China's agricultural-drone regime differs from US beyond-visual-line-of-sight rules, with routine autonomous waypoint spraying at massive scale, so the BVLOS gating event is not the relevant gate here. The autonomy is genuinely substantive and documented across independent sources, while widely cited figures such as 120,000 units sold, 1.2 million farmers served, 27,000 drones in operation, and presence in 70 countries trace to company statements and are cap-flagged as company-sourced rather than independently audited.
