Percentage of agricultural / arable land

54.7%

Agro Climactic regions 20

Main 5 zones N, E, W, S, NE

Main seasons Summer, Rainy, Winter

Soil types 46

average per capita operational land holding

Less than 1.2 ha

Overall large agricultural land, suitable climate and other parameters make India suitable for growth of agriculture market – in long term perspective also



� Gross domestic product (GDP) of agriculture

and allied sectors in India reached

USD151.8 billion

� According to Central statistical organization

agricultural sector growth of 2012 was 1.8%

against 3.6% of 2011

� Agricultural income as primary source of

income : 58% of population



� Low mechanisation level

� Agricultural productivity has positive

correlation with level of mechansation

� Higher labor share but less contribution to

GDP (gross domestic product)

� The estimated grain production in India

for year 2012-13 account to be around

255 MT (million tonnes)

� The population is around 1.22 billion

� Per capita food grain availability

438gms/day

� 2020 forecast: 290 MT for 1.3 billion



� There are two major agricultural seasons in India – Kharif and Rabi

� Kharif season: April - September (summer); Rice (paddy) main crop

� Rabi season: October – March (winter); wheat main crop


Overall harvester combine market - snapshot

Market:

� Contract farming

� Big unorganized market

� Advent of new players

Crop:

� wheat, rice, bajra (pearl millet), jowar

(great millet), maize , pulses….

Combines:

� Size: Small (2m CB), medium (4.5m CB)

� Technology: TAF, Straw Walker, Axial

� Power source: self propelled, Tractor

(Tractor on Top )


Overall harvester combine market - snapshot

� Average growth of combine market till 2010: 28% (rose upto 7500 units)

� Normally Track and TOT have similar market size

� 2011, 2012……..: drop in sales (primarily because of lack of monsoon)

� Market share of TOT increased in 2012-13 because of less monsoon. TOT are preferred for dry land and Track type preferred for wet land.

� 2012 – 13 estimate: 4800 units Wheel type: 3000, Tractor mounted: 1500, Track type: 300


Future trend

Focus of GovernmentLack of labor

Literacy rate

Multi crop focusImportance of straw

Public, Private partnership


Outlook

Crop: (Straw walkers, Multi crop harvester with increased productivity)

� Crop with less water usage

� Cereals other than rice

� Pulses� increased crop yields

� increased focus on straw and residue management

Field: (Efficient harvesters of small to mid size)

� smaller operational land holding

� contract farming, custom hiring

� increased focus on efficient utilization of field

Combines:� More international players

� Availability of global technologies (yield measurement, remote data acquisition, etc)� Efficient, economical, small to mid size

Miscellaneous: Increased usage of Information Technology and statistics in agriculture.
