The agricultural sector is one of the few industries in India that witnessed a robust growth rate of ~3.4 % at constant prices during FY’21 despite the COVID lockdown. Also, there is an advent of farm mechanization in the agricultural industry due to the rising labor costs in the country. These agricultural equipment are helpful for farmers at many stages of farming. However, due to the high cost of new equipment, most farmers opt for used farm equipment which is pushing the demand for used agricultural equipment in India. Currently, the Used Agriculture equipment sector is growing at a CAGR of ~16% between 2016 and 2021.

However, the adoption of farm mechanization is still low in the country as compared to other countries like China, Brazil, and more. But in the past years, several policies have been framed in order to improve farming infrastructure and focus on smaller land-holding farmers.
