Recent years have witnessed a rise in international commerce for
agricultural machinery due to active efforts by governments, corporations, associations, and people all over the world to increase
agricultural productivity. For farmers to use
cutting-edge farm equipment to optimize output and incorporate sustainable farming methods, some government administrations are providing incentives as well as a variety of finance alternatives, creating a favorable outlook for businesses operating in this industry.
However, it is important to keep in mind that this industry has long faced a number of difficulties, including the volatility of raw material and commodity prices and the requirement for sizable expenditures to open new facilities in developing nations. However, the pandemic brought about a brand-new set of obstacles that would reshape market patterns for agricultural equipment in the years to come.
That being said, let's now dig deep into the agricultural machinery industry to understand key trends that are expected to drive the growth in the future.
Growth in Rental Machineries
While the coronavirus outbreak caused a significant decline in sales for manufacturers in the world market for agricultural equipment, the dealership network was severely hit financially. However, on the plus side, it was discovered that these agricultural equipment sellers were investigating other revenue-generating alternatives and implementing cutting-edge tactics to make up for the pandemic losses.
For instance, Krish-e, a new business division of
Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, is a digital platform that offers innovative, cost-effective, and available to farmers technology-based services. With an emphasis on lowering total farming expenses and enhancing crop yields, M&M's new business vertical also offers rentals of contemporary farm equipment and cutting-edge precise farming solutions.
Today, agricultural rental solutions not only help in increasing cognizance among farmers but also aid in reducing the cost of farming, improve incomes, as well as the overall output. A shared platform for agriculture equipment is likely to become popular in the upcoming days.
Expansion of Precision farming
Following the COVID period, precision agriculture is expected to have phenomenal growth, further assisting farmers and the food industry in achieving a sustainable output.
