Until the last decade, mechanization was a neglected element of agricultural and rural development policies in Africa. However, due to the implicit limitations in terms of energy and operational output associated with traditional methods of farming, more and more African countries are pushing for mechanized agriculture systems.
The African farming system is the least mechanized of all continents. Africa has less than two tractors per 1000 ha of agricultural land.
Demand Driving Factors of Agriculture Tractor Market
The African continent has been witnessing strengthening economic developments since the last decade. Economic prosperity has been leading to a shift towards farm mechanization.
The growing shortage and deteriorating quality of human labor in most countries result from the aging farmer population and rural-urban migration of the able youth. Commercialization of agriculture, seasonal labor shortages, and the declining number of draught animals in SSA have also paved the way for a mechanized agriculture system.
Moreover, the availability of fuel in small villages also complements the adoption of mechanization in agriculture. The increasing availability of complementary inputs such as improved seeds, fertilizers, and water has also led to a mechanized agriculture system. All these factors are creating a conducive ecosystem for the agriculture tractor market in Africa.
Restraining Factors
Several factors are limiting the adoption of mechanization and hinder Government and private sector investments in farm mechanization. These factors include
- Limited access to machinery and spare-parts supplies,
- Inadequate service centers and skilled repair mechanics
- Negligible customer service
- Macro factors such as political instability, elite capture, corruption affecting investments and imports.
Opportunity
The Sustainable Development Goals of the African nations requiring protection of natural resources while producing food for the global growing population demands improved access to inputs such as seed, fertilizer and irrigation water, along with increased access to machinery.
Agriculture in Africa is fragmented among many small landholders. The tractors suitable to small farm holdings such as two-wheeled tractors (2WTs) and their requisite accessories are the opportunity section in the region. Tractors designed for women is another opportunity segment.
