The Challenge of Mechanization for Small Farmers
In Brazil, agribusiness is a global leader, but not all farmers have access to the large machines used in large-scale farming. For small and medium producers, investing in high-value harvesters and tractors can be unfeasible, in addition to generating maintenance costs that are disproportionate to their reality.
Why Invest in Customized Agricultural Machinery
Agricultural machinery for small farmers has been gaining ground because it offers:
More affordable cost: lower initial investment and simplified maintenance.
Productivity adjusted to farm size: avoiding resource waste.
Greater efficiency: equipment designed for each type of crop or process.
Ease of transport and operation: compact, practical, and functional machines.
Examples of Innovative Solutions
Some of the solutions already transforming the field include:
Portable corn shellers: ideal for small lots.
Compact harvesting platforms: adapted for smaller areas.
Smaller, customized harvesters: focused on low consumption and simplified maintenance.
Subsoilers adapted to your tractor: solutions that fit the implement to the machinery you already have, not the other way around.
These machines represent a viable path for small farmers to access technology without compromising their budget.
The Role of Engineering and Innovation in the Field
By combining experience in agricultural product development with a focus on efficiency, engineering makes it possible to adapt cutting-edge technology to any production scale. This means bringing to small farmers resources that were once restricted to large farms, such as automation, smart sensors, and robust, reliable design.
Customized machines are more than a trend: they are a real necessity to keep small and medium farmers competitive in today’s agribusiness.
