Key Mega Trends Describe The Future Of The Farm Machine

Mumbai, December 2021: The pandemic has led to an increase in equipment adoption due to labor migration, which has led to a positive increase in farm equipment sales by FY 20-21. The farm machinery industry in India focuses on low-tech products produced by informal forums in rural areas. So we need to grow faster as a tractor industry. Indian and international brands are advancing efforts in this space. This will improve production employment, improve technology, improve farm income and create export opportunities in India.

Technological changes include fuel injection systems, modified air handling systems, and exhaust after-treatment programs. This will ensure that the operation of machinery on farms continues to flourish in the future. Vendor networks and employees prepare themselves for the future so that they can adapt to the demands of this new technology.

Hemant Sikka - President of Farm Equipment Sector, Mahindra Ltd. and the President of the Tractor and Mechanization Association (TMA) states, “Farmers need to focus on agronomy counseling services, obtaining state-of-the-art farm equipment and accurate farming solutions to reduce quality. costs, product development, and revenue. "

The acceleration of digital acquisition in rural India

Sophisticated communication technologies and networks provide precise monitoring and control of equipment today. Advanced communication technology is transforming agriculture. Companies such as Mahindra have developed technological solutions aimed at empowering owners, sailors, pilots, traders, and utility teams to obtain information about tractors in real-time. Farmers have the ability to remotely collect and manage information from their field equipment using telematics technology connected to their smartphones. The acceleration of digital acquisition in rural India may be due to affordable smartphones, cheap data systems, and the digital focus of Digital India.

IMPORTANT SHIFT

• The appearance of social media facilitators to find local sources of information and advice.
• Application-based downloadable advisory services that are easily downloaded in local languages. 3 Vs - Voice, Video & Vernacular and the increase of digital thrust will reduce information misconduct among farmers.

• In addition to typing search terms, rural users also navigate the web using voice search on their mobile phones
• Data collection occurs increasingly online with a large number of date collections.
• Clear preferences for visual content (videos and photos) instead of text.

REAL GROWTH

The future of precise technology in India is built on two components.

First, the automation of farm operations with smart machines.

Second, a remote farm boundary sensor enables these machines to operate precisely to produce the desired results.

This can be achieved by hyperspectral image analysis which will help to translate images, giving farmers information about their land and crops. Field video cameras, sensors, and drones are used to collect crop information in real-time. The ability to analyze images, ingenuity, and mechanization will help generate commercial benefits for the smallholder farmer, opening up more opportunities for future farming. Therefore, accurate farming is expected to grow rapidly.

TRACTORS AND FARM MACHINES ARE PAID FOR USE

We need to provide technology-driven services to smallholder farmers. These must be sustainable, affordable, and accessible for increased productivity and profitability. New delivery models similar to the paid farm model will help farmers improve their income per hectare. There is also a need for a good combination of digital and digital-enabled services throughout the entire crop cycle to help farmers implement more efficient farming techniques, empowered with new technologies such as AI, IoT, and digital solutions.

Farmers need to focus on agronomy counseling services, access to improved rental farm services, and accurate new year farming solutions to reduce costs, improve productivity and income.

THE START-UP’s ECOSYSTEM

The future of farming lies in the natural processes that create value for all stakeholders. Excellent collaboration opportunities exist in the agricultural ecosystem where there is a lot of diversity and complexity in the farm value chain. Product-focused firms are constantly striving to use mid-range models to compete in the digital age. Platforms facilitate communication between producers and other businesses through value chain and value network without improving farm performance as a unit. Laying the groundwork with smart algorithms that integrate AI / ML will better facilitate producer operations, digital payments, innovation monitoring, etc.
