Maifei Technology

Maifei Technology (麦飞科技) is a smart-agriculture AI and big data company focused on precision crop protection — using proprietary near-ground remote sensing and visual-spectrum monitoring to detect crop growth and pest conditions at field-plot level, then generating variable-rate prescription maps for precision pesticide application . Its core team draws from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University, Alibaba, Oracle, and Airbus, and it claims to have been first to commercialize real-time field-level monitoring of crop health and disease . On funding: it raised a RMB 25 million Pre-A round in May 2018, co-led by Baidu Ventures and Elevation China Capital with FreeS Fund following , and in March 2019 closed an over-RMB-100-million Series A led by GF Qianhe, with existing investors continuing — at the time described as the largest single financing in China's smart-agriculture sector . By early 2019, per FreeS Fund's write-up, it had split into three business units (tech, agriculture, spatial), employed over 300 people, covered 33 districts and counties, and served over 2 million mu of farmland — led by CEO Gong Huaze, with Chen Qi as COO and Liu Long as CTO . elsewhere's corpus on the company stops in 2019, so its more recent status isn't covered here.
