Example Business Start-up Business Case Analysis

Agriculture Business Start-up: Crop farming in the USA has an annual profit of $150 billion. One of the major expenses is chemical application. Chemicals consist of fertilizer, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. If the amount of chemical usage can be reduced, farmers profits will increase. A UA/Drone can use specialized sensors to discover non-fertile areas, plant disease and weed infestations. Instead of applying chemicals to the entire farm, only apply chemicals to affected areas detected by a UA/Drone. A total of $26 billion is spent on fertilizer every year. If UA/Drone usage can save 30%, an increase of $8.7 billion in profits can be realized. A very cheap off the shelf vegetation stress camera (like the XNiteCannonSX230NDVI 12 megapixel with GPS) can easily be mounted on a UA/Drone to capture the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to indicate soil fertilit
