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 industrialised economies, where farm mechanisation has exceeded 90%, India`s farm mechanisation level is still between 40 and 45%. The adoption of farm mechanisation among the Indian farming community is highly imperative and need of the hour for continuing and sustainable development. The adoption of mechanised solutions in Indian agriculture is being driven by a number of macroeconomic and inherent factors, including the growing population, urbanisation, surge in agri exports like tractors, improved flow of agricultural credit, labour migration, and shortages, in addition to the agricultural, social, and economic growth drivers of mechanisation. In the contemporary scenario, farm mechanisation 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. This is paving the way for Farm Mechanization 2.0 in Indian agriculture.
