The global agriculture equipment market is expected to grow from $163.4 billion in 2021 to $295.3 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.8 per cent during the forecast period 2022-2030

As per the report published by The Brainy Insights, the global agriculture equipment market is expected to grow from $163.4 billion in 2021 to $295.3 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.8 per cent during the forecast period 2022-2030.

Agriculture equipment is a must for farming these days as there is a shortage of labour and the labour-intensive works from land development to harvesting and threshing need to be done by machinery.

One of the major restraints of the agriculture equipment market is the lack of skilled labour for operating the technologically advanced equipment. Several farmers are reluctant on purchasing these equipment as they don’t have the proper skill for using this equipment. This is restraining the growth of the market.

There are several organisations and government bodies which are providing loan to farmers at low-interest rates or at no interest rates which is an opportunity for the growth of the market. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic affected the market growth as several manufacturing units shut down which resulted in a shortage of raw materials and components and delayed production of the agriculture equipment.

The autonomous tractor will be available to farmers later this year.

John Deere, an American corporation that manufactures agricultural machinery, heavy equipment, forestry machinery, diesel engines, has revealed a fully autonomous tractor at CES 2022, that’s ready for large-scale production. The machine combines Deere’s 8R tractor, TruSet-enabled chisel plow, GPS guidance system, and new advanced technologies. The autonomous tractor will be available to farmers later this year.

The autonomous tractor serves a specific purpose: feeding the world. The global population is expected to grow from about 8 billion to nearly 10 billion people by 2050, increasing the global food demand by 50 per cent. All of these factors impact a farmer’s ability to farm during the most critical times of the year.

  • The autonomous tractor has six pairs of stereo cameras, which enables 360-degree obstacle detection and the calculation of distance.
  • The autonomous tractor is also continuously checking its position relative to a geofence, ensuring it is operating where it is supposed to, and is within less than an inch of accuracy.

To use the autonomous tractor, farmers only need to transport the machine to a field and configure it for autonomous operation. Using John Deere Operations Centre Mobile, they can swipe from left to right to start the machine.

John Deere Operations Centre Mobile provides access to live video, images, data and metrics, and allows a farmer to adjust speed, depth and more.

The fully autonomous tractor will be on display from January 5-8, 2022 at John Deere’s CES booth, located in Central Plaza at the Las Vegas Convention Centre.
