AN ECONOMICAL APPROACH TO AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY MANAGEMENT

Farmers around the world are currently operating in an environment that is
characterised by high volumes of grain stocks and fresh produce but low
economic activities. This put pressure on most commodity prices and means
less money for repairing or buying agricultural machinery. By postponing
his replacement policy, the farmer is now faced with the dilemma of
overusing his machinery and thereby putting pressure on the cost of
maintenance and repairs. The question then is what should the farmer's
approach be towards agricultural machinery management so that he can get
the best economical advantage from it? To get to the answer of
this, AGEKON decided to present a seminar on the issue.
