Agricultural Drones Market 2025 to 2032: Labour Scarcity, Sensor Edge and the Tariff-Certification Squeeze →What Changed

This marks a sharp escalation in regulatory enforcement following the expansion of the Covered List in December 2025. Service providers relying on uncertified foreign-made models risk immediate operational grounding and spare-part stockouts.
