PARI research focuses on identifying and scaling promising agricultural innovations for agricultural growth and food security in Africa and India.
This study looks in to pattern of agricultural mechanization along the entire value chain (production, post-harvest, processing, transport and storage) and compares it with the annual average agricultural output over the same time period.
This paper analyses how this enabling environment was created during the mechanization history of two today’s mechanized countries, the United States and Germany, thereby distilling lessons for today’s mechanizing countries.
This study identifies key factors that might spur increased adoption, including education, secure land rights, and access to institutional support services in CA.
