Driving Change in Agriculture
Farming is more than just a profession - it's the backbone of rural economies and a vital part of food security. Every country and region face different agricultural challenges and Kubota strives to provide solutions that suit their needs.

Recognizing these obstacles, Escorts Kubota Limited (EKL) upholds the legacy of its Farmtrac Champion Series—tractors engineered to provide unmatched performance, efficiency, and durability. These tractors empower farmers to meet daily demands with reliability, allowing them to maximize productivity and achieve greater results in their operations
Challenges on the Ground
India possesses the world's largest area of cultivated land, accounting for 10% of the total global cultivated land. The number of people engaged in agriculture reaches 300 million, representing more than half of the working population. Considering both the volume of agricultural production and the number of people employed in the sector, India can certainly be called a major agricultural country. However, in India, agricultural community today contends with several complex challenges that threaten the sustainability of their livelihoods. Rising fuel costs and maintenance expenses create financial strains on farmers, reducing their profitability. Downtime due to frequent repairs or high fuel consumption can disrupt critical farming operations, creating unnecessary burdens for farmers who already operate under thin margins. Furthermore, unique to India, tractors are used for a wide range of purposes, including daily transportation and carrying goods, creating a demand for tough, multi-functional agricultural machinery that is not only efficient but also capable of smoothly handling various tasks.
