Best of Brands, Industry Leaders to Gather at ETAuto Farm Equipment Summit 2022

The Economic Times is organizing ETAuto Farm Equipment Summit tomorrow at The Lalit, New Delhi with Krishi Jagran as its media partner. This year marks the 3^rd edition of this summit.

Over the past few years, there has been a significant advancement in agriculture mechanization. The majority of farmers in the nation have already started to switch from using animate sources to mechanical equipment to power their farming operations. The majority of farm tasks, including tillage, sowing, irrigation, plant protection, and threshing, are performed with mechanical equipment.

India, a significant agrarian economy, has seen growth in the tractor industry that has been driven by both public and private sector initiatives. The role of tractors in agricultural production will not change, but they will need to become more adaptable, efficient, and sustainable. The market value for farm equipment will rise in response to the growing demand for tractors outfitted with cutting-edge technologies like electrification. However, the high cost of farm equipment may limit the market's growth.

The 3^rd edition of the ETAuto Farm Equipment Summit will cover current concerns, new and developing technology, and market opportunities. Industry leaders from around the world will debate and discuss the most recent advancements and trending topics, including TREM-IV, financing, electrification, etc.

The largest multilingual agri-rural magazine in the nation with a combined audience of approximately ten million people, Krishi Jagran, a Limca Book of Records winner, will be covering this event.
