Agriculture is one of the most important pillar industries in African countries. However, the current level of agricultural production there is generally not high. The agricultural machine is still dominated by manpower and simple tools, which causes low mechanization level. Therefore, Agricultural machine such as Mashine ya kusaga maganda, thresher machine, mashine ya kuvuna have always been the main force of China’s aid to Africa, that’s why Taizy agriculture machine have already gained user’s awareness and market basis in African countries.
Kenya ina kiwango cha chini cha uendeshaji wa mashine za kilimo na mfumo rahisi.
Kiwango cha uendeshaji wa mashine za kilimo nchini Kenya ni cha chini. Takwimu zinaonyesha kuwa kiwango cha mashamba makubwa na ya kati nchini Kenya ni asilimia 30 tu, na nguvu kazi kuu ya kilimo bado ni binadamu, ikichangia asilimia 50.
Fursa za maendeleo ya kilimo nchini Kenya
Hivi sasa, asilimia 80 ya ardhi bado haijatumika, na hii inaleta fursa kubwa za soko kwa mashine za kilimo.
Kuelekea hali ya uendeshaji wa mashine za kilimo nchini Kenya, Wizara ya Kilimo ya Kenya inaunda sera ya kusimamia maendeleo yake.
Mahitaji ya mashine za kilimo za Kenya
China’s agricultural machines have great advantages whatever in price or quality. The knowledge level of Kenyan farmers are relatively low, therefore, the machines they need do not need to be equipped with high scientific and technological factors so as that the local farmers can used them easily. Generally, thresher ya mahindi, Mashine ya kusaga mchele, Mashine ya kukata nyasi are very popular with people there, since they bear lower prices and high working efficiency, which are very in line with local market demand.
Kulingana na meneja wa mauzo wa kampuni ya usambazaji ya Kenya, mashine za kilimo za China ni za ushindani sana. Mashine hizi zina modeli tofauti na uwezo, ambayo ina maana kwamba zinaweza kuingia katika viwango tofauti vya soko. Kutoka kwa wakulima binafsi hadi kwa wauzaji wakubwa, wote ni wateja wa mashine za kilimo za China.
Kenya’s main crops are corn and wheat, so mashine ya kuvuna yenye kazi nyingi are also very popular.
On the other hand, due to low technology, people in Kenya requires a lot of machines for economic crops, so the market of transplanter machine, nursery seeding machine is large as well.
Huduma ya baada ya mauzo ni msingi wa soko thabiti.
Kenya ina uhaba wa mafundi, kwa hivyo ni vigumu kwao kudumisha mashine.
Bila dhamana ya huduma ya baada ya mauzo, mashine zetu za kilimo zitakoma kutumiwa na wao hivi karibuni, haitakuwa na uwezo wa kuhakikisha uendelevu wa usafirishaji. Katika hali hii, kampuni hazitapata nafasi ya kujiimarisha Afrika.
Huduma bora ya baada ya mauzo inajumuisha mafunzo kwa wafanyakazi wa matengenezo na watumiaji wa mashine za kilimo, na ni muhimu kuwapa watumiaji miongozo na tahadhari za usalama nk.
