2. Need For Farm Equipment
Rentals2
 Small land holdings
 Under-utilized equipment leading to lack of economic
viability
 Equipment uses up a bulk of the capital leaving no
money for allied activities like dairy, poultry
 Equipment ownership leads to build up of fixed costs
whereas agriculture is a weather dependant, price
dependant variable output activity which should have
higher variable costs
 Labour welfare measures such as MGNREGA are
continuously driving down labour availability, creating
greater need for bigger and larger machines such as
cotton harvesters.
