Benefits Of Agricultural Mechanization
Agricultural mechanisation is critical for increasing production and decreasing labor-intensive activities. The utilisation of modern agricultural technology and equipment speeds up farm operations, reduces crop losses, and increases production. It also provides consistency in sowing, fertilisation, and watering, resulting in a high-quality harvest. The affordable availability of agricultural gear and equipment can inspire small farmers to adopt mechanisation and improve their livelihood.
