Buy Report

Until last decade, mechanization was a neglected element of agricultural and rural development polices 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 systems is the least mechanized of all continents. Africa has less than 2 tractors per 1000 ha of agriculture land. The agriculture tractor market in Africa was worth $XX million in 2018 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of XX% during 2019-2024.

Demand Driving Factors of Agriculture Tractor Market

The African continent has been witnessing strengthening economic developments since last decade. The economic prosperity has been leading to a shift towards farm mechanization. The growing shortage and deteriorating quality of human labor in most countries is as a result of ageing farmer population and rural–urban migration of the able youth. Commercialization of agriculture, seasonal labor shortages, declining number of draught animals in SSA has also paved way for 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 mechanized agriculture system. All these factors are creating 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

  1. limited access to machinery and spare-parts supplies,
  2. Inadequate service centers and skilled repair mechanics
  3. Negligible customer service
  4. 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. The agriculture in Africa is fragmented among many small land holders. 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.

The market has been segmented based on the-

End applications- Utility, Row crop, Garden type, Orchard type, Rotary tillers, and Implement carriers.

Horse Power- Below 40 HP, 40 HP-100 HP and Above 100 HP

Wheel Type- Two Wheel and Four Wheel

South Africa, Nigeria, Sudan, Egypt, Mali, Morocco, Niger, Zambia and Botswana are the major markets for Agriculture tractors and has witnessed fastest growth rate in Africa. The demand for agriculture tractors in other countries such as Gambia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Senegal, and Malawi has been booming and is expected to strengthen towards the end of forecast period. With growing access to finance and parallel development of machinery markets and services, etc. Africa is expected to become the high growth agriculture tractors market.
