Farm Machinery
Consists of farm field and farmstead machinery used for the production of crops and agricultural livestock. Industry is classified as Farm Machinery (NAICS).
History
Horse drawn and steam operated machines were imported during late 19th century. Developmental activities were accelerated during 1940s. Green revolution has brought marked change in mechanisation
Contd..
Farmers could produce higher yields and better economic returns. In 1947 Central& State Tractor Organisations were set up to develop & promote the supply & use of tractor.
Until 1960, the demand was met through imports. And import continued until 1977 to meet the additional demand.
Contd.
Indian company Eicher Tractors Ltd. started manufacturing equipments in 1961. Gujarat Tractors Ltd. (1963), Escorts Ltd (1966), International Tractors(India) Ltd (1966), Hindustan Machine Tools Ltd. (1977) started manufacturing tractors with foreign knowhow.
Industry Overview
Farm income is the leading influence on the sales of the farm equipments. Growth in global demand has outpaced supply in recent years. Replacement part industry constitute a significant segment. Overall world agricultural equipment market is expected to grow at a rate of 4.8%
Market break up
Factors affecting agriculture equipment sales in India include Monsoon, MSP for crops, commodity price, production cost, Credit policies announced by the bank.

Policy
No separate National Policy on Agricultural Mechanisation, but covered under the Agriculture policy of the National Government. The major features are: Agricultural mechanization should lead to a sustainable increase in yields and cropping intensity with the objective of meeting the planned growth rate in agricultural production and maintaining it. The income of agricultural workers should rise at a satisfactory rate so that the disparity between urban and rural incomes is contained and they get opportunity to lead a dignified life.
Contd.
The benefits of agricultural mechanization should apply to all types of farmers including small and marginal ones in different regions of the country, particularly rain fed areas. Agricultural mechanization should create a worker friendly environment especially for women workers by lessening hard labour, health hazards and improve safety in production operations. Agricultural mechanization should lead to a reduced cost of production agricultural thereby increase the income of farmers and impart a price advantage while competing for export contractsin the international market.

Areas of concern
Reliability and quality of agricultural machinery. Availability of products, spare parts and aftersales-services in close proximity. Availability of Bank credit on terms where currently the farmers have to mortgage both the equipment purchased and his land. Lack of effective consumer protection in rural areas for redressel of cases of product problems, and poor after-salesservice etc.
