Advancement in the Agriculture Equipment to Augment the Growth of the Plot Seeders Market

 

Plot seeder is a type of equipment used for planting the seed in straight rows by properly drilling the soil. This helps in enhancing the yield of the land and also helps in various agriculture activities such as nutrient application, weeding, or harvesting.

The growing adoption of advanced agriculture equipment and increasing demand for food due to the growing population is driving the growth of the plot seeders market. According to the United Nation, the world's population is expected to increase by 2 billion persons in the next 30 years, from 7.7 billion currently to 9.7 billion in 2050. Plot seeders play a significant role in minimizing the wastages of seeds and increases crop yielding and harvesting. Moreover, it also reduces the turnaround time required for the seedling. Furthermore, other advantages such as this seeder equipment can plant the seed in multiple rows in very little time by distributing them evenly and accurately is further anticipated to foster the growth of the plot seeders market.

The Asia Pacific is projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the expanding agriculture industry in the region. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for about 58% of India’s population. Gross Value Added (GVA) by agriculture, forestry and fishing were estimated at Rs. 19.48 lakh crore (US$ 276.37 billion) in FY20 (PE). Essential agricultural commodities export for the April-September period of 2020 increased by 43% to Rs. 53,626 crore (US$ 7.3 billion) over Rs. 37,397 crore (US$ 5.1 billion) in the same period last year
