It is no secret that agriculture in Russia is extremely poorly provided with high-quality equipment. Over the past 15 years, the fleet has halved. And the average "age" of the remaining machines has long surpassed all conceivable limits. Analysts are disappointing: the energy supply of our agricultural enterprises is 10 times worse than in any other developed state. By the way, poor technical equipment and a low level of rural labor productivity are the main reason that hinders the market competitiveness of Russian agricultural products.
Import Chinese tractors
In recent years, Chinese-made tractors have become popular. Indeed, for Russia this is an excellent alternative to the expensive and not very high-quality domestic equipment (let compatriots forgive us).
Since 2000, China has steadily increased its exports of agricultural equipment. And if earlier a Chinese tractor of low power was popular, then in recent years, exports have been increasing due to medium-power machines. In many CIS countries, joint domestic-Chinese enterprises for the assembly and maintenance of agricultural machinery appeared.
Experts suggest that the demand for row-crop units and various attachments to them will grow every year. Currently, there is a tendency to accumulate experience in operating equipment such as Chinese tractors. Reviews show that the technical characteristics of agricultural units and their preparedness exceed several times the performance of domestic machines.
