Agriculture in Africa still primarily refers to labor-intensive physical labour. Access to agricultural machinery is quite limited.
Old diesel tractor fuel is expensive and frequently difficult to find in many areas. However, individuals might farm greater tracts of land much more effectively with more up-to-date gear.
Farmers would benefit from less effort, more harvests, and higher incomes as a result. Finding solutions that are effective, future-proof, and environmentally friendly is crucial given the expanding population and the effects of climate change.
The Africa Electric Tractor Battery Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
The first electric tractor for Africa is being researched and developed by Volkswagen and the University of Rwanda.
The tractor is initially being tested in Rwanda after being equipped with an electric motor and backup battery at Volkswagen’s facility in Wolfsburg, Germany.
It is intended to satisfy regional needs and more efficiently develop greater regions. Meanwhile, it is believed that the advancement of technology would attract more people, particularly young people, to work in agriculture, increasing employment in rural regions.
For the cutting-edge tractor, electricity is generated locally using a photovoltaic system. In addition to providing clean electricity, this will also serve nearby villages with environmentally friendly power.
Everyone working with the initiative anticipates positive outcomes from the initial field experiments. These tests might later serve as the foundation for the tractors’ mass manufacture.
