Why India’s Farmers are buying Tractors despite Distress?

If farmers are still dealing with small landholdings, rising labour costs, seasonal income and financial pressure — why are tractor sales reaching record levels? This documentary explores the economics behind India’s tractor boom. We look beyond tractor sales to understand the forces actually driving demand — from the value of time and labour shortages to tractor rentals, custom hiring, financing, transport work, replacement demand and the growing importance of tractor utilisation. Because a tractor isn’t always just a farming machine. For some, it is a productivity tool. For others, it is a source of rental income. And for some, it can become a rural business asset. So, does a tractor boom really mean Indian farmers are getting richer? Or is something more complicated happening? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 WHO IS BOOKED! FOR?
