EIMA AGRIMACH INDIA 2011

There have been significant efforts put in by both the private and the public sector towards promotion and adoption of mechanization in the Indian agricultural system. Further, access to finance for major farm equipment has also played an important role in increasing the reach and penetration of the farm machinery viz. tractors, power tillers, bullock/tractor drawn implements, reapers, threshers, irrigation equipment, hand tools, etc. among rural consumers. The present trend in agricultural mechanisation shows acceptability of greater mechanization farming system and a scope to broaden its applicability to horticultural, plantations and other commercial crops.
