> The planned service would start with two pilot crews and could expand to four as contracted acreage grows.

Rantizo plans to bring Harvest 100 agricultural drone services to California’s Central Valley, starting in Fresno, Tulare, Kings and Kern counties after an October purchase of drone technology assets.

The rollout is planned to begin with two drone pilot crews. Rantizo may expand to four during the upcoming season as contracted acreage grows, and plans to establish licensing, county registrations and channel partners for the service. The company has not specified a launch date or the amount of California acreage under contract.

Harvest 100 is a heavy-lift autonomous agricultural drone built in Houston. More than 70% of its parts are U.S. or allied, and its design specification calls for coverage of 500 acres per day. That figure describes planned coverage, not a reported operating result. The rollout announcement did not provide a count of aircraft built or delivered.

Rantizo has master spray agreements with agricultural retailers Nutrien and Helena. The agreements’ terms and the amount of California acreage they may cover have not been disclosed. The company also has Federal Aviation Administration certifications and operational authorizations in more than 15 states.

California farm and ranch cash receipts totaled $64.7 billion in 2025. That figure measures agricultural receipts across the state, not drone spending or the potential market for Harvest 100.

The Nasdaq-listed company, formerly known as SKK Holdings Limited, acquired substantially all drone-based technology assets from a separate seller, Rantizo Inc. The purchase closed effective Oct. 9; it was an asset purchase, not an acquisition of Rantizo Inc. as a whole.

Consideration consisted of 51,966,591 Class A ordinary shares, valued using a $4.9807 volume-weighted average price over the three trading days before closing. The transaction was valued at $258.83 million. The listed company changed its name to Rantizo in connection with the closing, and its trading symbol changed to RNTZ effective Oct. 13.

Rantizo President Marianne McInerney said, “America needs American drones, and we are building them in Texas today.”
