Affordability of Farm Machinery to Small & Marginal Farmers is the Key: Bharat Bhushan Tyagi
Dr Bharat Bhushan Tyagi stressed the importance of farm mechanization and its availability & affordability to small and marginal farmers too. He said the focus should be on the small farm equipment & tools. He also highlighted that that the growth of the farm mechanization sector is impeded by some of the issues like fragmentation of landholdings, a large presence of small and marginal farmers, unaffordability of farm technologies etc.
Krishi Jagran launched a new website tractornews.in, and hosted a 'Webinar on Farm Mechanization'. The primary goal of this website is to provide farmers with a digital window into the latest Agri Machinery news and technical specifications for various manufacturers around the country.
MC Dominic, Founder & Editor-Chief of Krishi Jagran & Agriculture World, is aiming to create a digital bridge between farmers and industrial businesses in order to assist in the acceptance and application of new technology.
