摘要

In this paper, data on the demand for mechanization inputs (and potential for its growth) including availability of tractors in countries in sub-Saharan Africa [SSA]* is presented. Overall, the Southern Africa region has the highest number of tractors in use while the Central Africa region relies on human muscle power for primary land preparation on about 85% of the cultivated land. The annual level of importation of tractors and other agricultural mechanization inputs in many SSA countries is quite low and this raises the issue of the sustainability and viability of the franchises and supply chains for agricultural machinery, implements and spare parts. Due to the small size of the market for mechanization inputs in many countries, it is important to consider sub regional mechanisms and cooperation in order to establish viable agricultural machinery supply chains and manufacturing entities. Sustainable agricultural mechanization [SAM] is key to the development of the agricultural sector in SSA. A holistic approach is essential, as SAM contributes to environmental sustainability through the adoption of sustainable land preparation and crop husbandry techniques; to commercial sustainability through the use of business models which efficiently and profitably provide mechanization inputs and services to farmers at competitive and affordable prices; and to socioeconomic sustainability through improved access to higher levels of mechanization inputs and services by smallholder farmers (including women, youth and the elderly). It is equally important to provide training in basic technical and business skills to farmers and mechanization service providers at all levels on how to safely use improved implements and power units in mechanized crop and livestock production systems on the farms and at homes.
