SMALL FARM PRODUCTIVITY

Increased productivity

Automation technologies, such as automated planting, irrigation, and harvesting systems, can significantly increase the efficiency and productivity of farm operations. This allows farmers to produce more with less labour, ultimately leading to farm expansion and increased income.

Higher income for workers

By investing in automation, farmers can often increase their output without proportionally increasing labour needs. This can lead to higher wages for skilled workers who are needed to operate and maintain the automated equipment.

Cost savings

Automated systems can reduce the need for manual labor, which can be a significant cost for small farms. By reducing labor costs and increasing efficiency, farmers can realize higher profits.

Expansion opportunities

With increased productivity and cost savings from automation, farmers may have the financial means to expand their operations, invest in new crops, or diversify their products, ultimately leading to greater profitability.

Manufacturers  have developed electric farm and irrigation equipment designed specifically for small farms to address the unique challenges faced by small-scale agriculture:

Electric small-scale farm equipment

China has developed electric-powered machinery, such as small tractors, plows, and tillers, that are well-suited for the needs of small farms. These machines are more affordable and environmentally friendly than traditional diesel-powered equipment, making them accessible to small-scale farmers.

Efficient irrigation systems

Chinese manufacturers have developed electric irrigation systems tailored to the needs of small farms, allowing farmers to water their crops without the need for large-scale infrastructure efficiently

Precision farming technology

Chinese companies have also developed electric-powered equipment for precision farming tasks, such as planting, weeding, and spraying. These technologies enable small farmers to optimize their use of inputs and increase productivity.

Harvesting equipment

Electric-powered harvesting equipment, such as small-scale combine harvesters, has been developed to help small farmers efficiently gather their crops, reducing labour requirements and increasing productivity.
