  • Abstract:
  • Mechanization is crucial in the context of the growing commercialization of agriculture. The application of farm machineries is increasing continuously in Indian Agriculture as it contributed to the increase in productivity due to timeliness of operations and increased precision in input application. When compared to industrialized economies, where farm mechanization has exceeded 90%, India's farm mechanization level is still between 40 and 45%. The adoption of farm mechanization among the Indian farming community is highly imperative and need of the hour for continuing and sustainable development. The adoption of mechanized solutions in Indian agriculture is being driven by a number of macroeconomic and inherent factors, including the growing population, urbanization, surge in Agri exports like tractors, improved flow of agricultural credit, labor migration, and shortages, in addition to the agricultural, social, and economic growth drivers of mechanization. In the contemporary scenario, farm mechanization start-ups, especially those built on the farming as a service (FAAS) model, are rapidly integrating technology with an emphasis on precision agriculture in India. In order to increase the effectiveness of their equipment and obtain a competitive advantage, the majority of agriculture equipment manufacturers are currently concentrating on integrating various technologies, such as robotics, Global Positioning System (GPS), and navigation systems.
