About TFS Aerial Solutions

We deliver precision aerial intelligence for Malaysian palm oil estates — grounded in MPOB research, designed for real-world plantation management.

Our Story

TFS Aerial Solutions was built by a team of plantation owners and agricultural technologists who saw firsthand how much time and money was being wasted on guesswork. We started TFS to bring precision aerial intelligence to Malaysia's palm oil industry — because we believe every estate owner deserves to see exactly what is happening on their land.

Today, TFS provides end-to-end aerial mapping and monitoring services for palm oil plantations across Malaysia. We handle everything in-house — from precision aerial surveys to MPOB research-backed canopy analysis and prescription maps — delivering actionable intelligence as a complete, transparent service.
