Agro Machinery.
Agriculture is the largest employment sector in Bangladesh. The performance of this sector has an overwhelming impact on major macroeconomic objectives like employment generation, poverty alleviation, human resources development, food security, etc. A plurality of Bangladeshis earn their living from agriculture.
In 1972, about 75% of the workforce was in primary industry (mostly agriculture) and 25% in non-agricultural sectors while in 2010 these ratios had changed greatly in which 47% were in agriculture and 53% in non-agriculture.
Why Farm Mechanization?
Migration causes labor shortages, which reduce agricultural productivity. Labor scarcity has led to more use of hired labor for most farm operations, such as tilling the land and weeding. That is why farm mechanization is so important today. Effective mechanization increases production in two ways: operations are done on time, and the quality of work is better.
Farm mechanization equipment:
- Tractor
- Power Tiller.
- Tractor implements: Rotavator, Disc Plough, Disk Harrow & others.
- Planting equipment: Transplanter, Seeder.
- Fertilizing & pest control equipment: Knapsack Sprayer, Power Sprayer & others.
- Irrigation equipment: Water pump and Diesel engine.
