DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Manufacture and Wholesale of Agricultural and Forestry Machinery in South Africa 2023” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
After increasing for several years, sales of agricultural machinery reached multi-decade highs in 2022, largely due to good harvests and high agricultural commodity prices that boosted farmers’ incomes. Retail sales data shows that new tractor sales in 2022 were the highest in 40 years.
Combine harvester and all new agricultural machinery sales increased significantly. Farmers’ incomes were boosted by higher agricultural commodity prices, good harvests and banks being more willing to offer financing.
Headwinds
Manufacturers and wholesalers are facing challenges such as poor economic growth, high input costs and inconsistent supply of electricity. Between 2020 and the middle of 2022, there was a severe global shortage of new agricultural machinery due to the suspension of machinery production, supply chain problems and a shortage of microchips and other spare parts. Local distributors struggled to import enough machinery to satisfy demand. Other challenges are exchange rate volatility, growing structural challenges around water and sanitation, and road infrastructure and port inefficiencies.
Key Trends
There is increased use of machinery developed for precision farming, and autonomous machinery that performs tasks like planting and harvesting. Technology is increasingly available in cheaper models, making it more accessible.
Machinery is becoming more environmentally-friendly in terms of fuel efficiency, lower emissions and the development of battery electric machinery. Forestry machinery is becoming more efficient and sophisticated to increase productivity.
