Agricultural Machinery Market In India

The agricultural scene here in India can best be described as a paradox – where on one side it’s got the largest workforce number yet, on the other hand, it struggles to keep up with the minimum GDP contribution. At the same time, India has to compete with China but is unable to keep up with the kind of production level coming out of Japan, which is geographically smaller yet has more output than India does? Here’s what’s going wrong.

• The biggest problem is one that the farmers don’t have any control over – the weather. Irregularity and uncertainty of the rains can drastically reduce produce output levels and even destroy crops altogether. 

• Farmers don’t have access to canal irrigation everywhere and farmers depend on the rains, as erratic as they are, for fruitful a yield. 

• Increasing population numbers are reducing the amount of farming and agricultural land available.  

The Agricultural Machinery Market In India might have the best solutions for tackling these issues through the provision of tools, in these ways.

Water management for better irrigation

Crops only grow well if they are given the right amount of water, by irrigating fields. Shortage of water will always be an issue, so the use of agricultural equipment like water monitoring channels, humidity sensors can help control that. For example, the sensors are plugged in the soil, they read the moistures levels and the relay data back to machines that control valves to water tanks. Such water management technology is helpful in drought-prone states and those that get too much rain.

Mechanized crop planting/ harvesting to reduce labour time

To speed up the process of planting, harvesting and fertilizing crops farmers can rely on backhoes, seed drills, tractors, and front end loaders that help them move faster, use less manpower and get better results.      

Determine optimal pre and post cultivation cycle environments

Farmers can use similar soil sensors to assess the right irrigation facilities to be used, the state of the soils to be cultivated and how crops will fare if they were to alter those conditions. Applying technology in this way helps them to cope with unexpected changes in weather, air temperature, sunlight, plant diseases, and pests.
