CHAPTER - I
The major certificate received for its performance are as follows. In October 1996International Quality Excellence Certificate under ISO 9001-2000 and KPMG- Quality
Registration Accredited by Dutch Counsel for certification. There is a wide scope in this type
of Industries where the potentiality of growth is cent percentage. The agriculture has to show
a study growth. The government of India has tries hard to improve the total productivity
through out the years of agriculture and allied Industries.. In each budget the government set
apart a huge amount of money for the improvement of agriculture and allied Industries. So
the scope is that high.
CHAPTER- II
INDUSTRY PROFILE
The agricultural machinery industry emerged in Britain and the United States in the 19th
century. Until then the common tools of farming were the plough and the sickle. These iron
agricultural implements were often made by blacksmiths in the local village, who regularly
also acted as farrier. In the first part of the 19th century some of the early agricultural
machine manufacturers arose from these blacksmith workshops, such as John Deere who
started up with the production of ploughs in series in the 1840s.
Other companies arose from the introduction of horse drawn reaping, which
replaced the type of hand reaper in use since biblical times. A company as
the McCormick started up with building these kind of harvesting machines around the 1840s.
And another origin of agricultural industry was the introduction of combined harvesting,
threshing and cleaning in the 1830s. The Case Corporation for example started building those
in 1842 as the Racine Threshing Machine Works. Until early 20th century most of those
machinery were powered by horses.
Mid-19th century the portable steam-powered plowing engines were introduced. They
were used in pairs, placed on either side of a field to haul a plow back and forth between
them using a wire cable. These portable engines were also used to power threshing machines,
mills and pumps. The portable steam engines were produced by specific agricultural
machinery maker, such as Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies who had started as brass and ironfounder making casting ploughshares late 18th century.
Late 19th century in Britain more companies such as Richard Garrett &
Sons and Manns Patent Steam Cart and Wagon Company developed steam tractors for direct
ploughing, but the heavy, wet soil of England meant that these designs were less economical
than a team of horses. In the United States, where soil conditions permitted, steam tractors
were used to direct-haul plows. Steam-powered agricultural engines remained in use well into
the 20th century until reliable internal combustion engines had been developed.
Collins (1987) recalled that the impact of the agricultural machinery industry in the
19th century was still limited. He stated stated: "prior the third quarter of the nineteenth
century the impact of machinery in agriculture was slight compared with that in
manufacturing industry. Some operations such as barn work and hay and corn harvesting had
been largely mechanized by 1880 but, up to the Second World War, many were still
performed by hand labour and large numbers of workers were still required for seasonal tasks
such as hop- and fruit-picking and vegetable cultivations.
In the beginning of the 20th century in the UK the Agricultural machinery
industry "although composed of many hundreds of firms, was dominated by a few large ones,
chiefly in the eastern counties of England. The total output of the industry was estimated to
be worth 6.5 million pounds in 1913, or about 5 percent of the total value of the output of the
mechanical engineering industry at the first Census of Production in 1907."
In the first decennia the internal combustion engine; first the petrol engine, and
later diesel engines; became the main source of power for the next generation of tractors.
Early companies expanded into the tractor business, such as John Deere which bought
the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company in 1918, which manufactured the popular Waterloo
Boy tractor. In the 1930s new technologies as rubber ties and hydrologics were introduced in
tractors and other farm machinery. The diesel engines also contributed to the development of
the self-propelled, combined harvester and thresher, or combine harvester (also shortened to
'combine'). Instead of cutting the grain stalks and transporting them to a stationary threshing
machine, these combines cut, threshed, and separated the grain while moving continuously
through the field.
In the second part of the 20th century the production of agricultural machinery in
development countries rose rapidly. In the 1960s a country as the UK exported more than
60% of its production to Western Europe, Australia, USA, Canada and South Africa, and
main manufacturers started production plants abroad. Another trend was the increased
concentration among manufacturers. In the 1970s in the UK six companies supplied 75% of
the total output.
The further mechanization of agriculture in the 20th century made possible by the
agricultural machinery industry had a Hugh impact of the economic structure of society. In
the developed countries the total labour force engaged in agriculture dropped from about 75%
in 1800 to less than 5% late 20th century. In development countries late 20th century still
75% of all land "was farmed with only hand-tools and draught-animal technology." In Turkey
still 48% and in India 66.5% of the labor were working in agriculture, according to
the FAO Production Yearbook 1990.
21st century
A 2013 report by the VDMA gave the following preview of the current developments in the
agricultural machinery industry:
"The general trends in society, agriculture and technology allow conclusions about the
future requirements profile for agricultural machinery... The depicted dominating
topics for the agricultural sector are
These topics are today already central components of the specifications for new
developments..."
WORLD SCENARIO
Agricultural machinery manufacturers exist in sizes from small and medium business to
multinationals. James & Akrasanee (1988) stipulated that those forms have different
production management, and can be classified into three groups:
The first group consists of those workshops with limited and simple equipment.
Despite their flexibility, the production management system is very rare in this
case.
The second group includes those with certain degrees of division of labour within
the plant. They do organize some plant layout, but not in a fully systematic
manner.
The last group constitutes those with clear production lines and division of labour.
The two largest agricultural machinery manufacturers worldwide based on revenue (in
2012):
John Deere : $37.79 billion revenues and employing 67,000 people worldwide in
2013. Its workforce has increased significantly in the past decennia from 43.000 in
2002 to 67.000 in 2013.
CNH Global : $19.4 billion revenues and employing 33.800 people worldwide in
2013.
In the United States the revenue of tractor & agricultural machinery manufacturing sector
increased from about 35 billion U.S. dollars in 2009 to 42 billion U.S. dollars in 2014
A 2013-2014 report acknowledged that "China's agricultural machinery industry has achieved
rapid development, the gross output value of agricultural machinery exceeded RMB 300
billion, total power of agricultural machinery surpassed 1 billion kilowatts, and the integrated
mechanization level of agricultural crops exceeded 50%, demonstrating that China has
entered into a mechanized production-oriented period.... Tractors and harvesting machinery
are the most important agricultural machinery products in China, with annual output of 2.25
million units and 1.114 million units in 2012 separately...
Gyanendra (2006) recalled, that "the early agricultural mechanization in India was greatly
influenced by the technological development in England. Irrigation pumps, tillage equipment,
chaff cutters, tractors and threshers were gradually introduced for farm mechanization. The
high yielding varieties with assured irrigation and higher rate of application of fertilizers gave
higher returns that enabled farmers to adopt mechanization inputs, especially after Green
revolution in 1960s."
The Turkish Ministry of Economy (2011) explained that "Turkey is one of the few countries
of the world which is self-sufficient in food. At present Turkey is the largest producer and
exporter of agricultural products in the Near East and North Africa... The agricultural
machinery industry is comprised of about 1000 manufacturers countrywide.... Companies
manufacturing agricultural machinery and equipment except tractors are mostly small and
medium size companies. The sector employs about 15,000 workers... The value of
agricultural machinery and spare parts and agricultural tractors and trailers exports was US$
313 million in 2009."
STATE SCENARIO
State of kerala has peculiar state of affairs in its agricultural economy. Being a consumer
state, it depends largely on agricultural products from the neighbouring states. It has tiny and
small farmlands owned by private landowners. Even those available lands are not fully
utilised for cultivation, owing to economic reasons. Low productivity coupled with
prohibitive costs of cultivation has virtually driven the traditional farmers out of their
vocation! Under this scenario, mechanization of the farming is a non-starter proposition in the
state. Barring traditional tools and tackles employed by the farmers in the cultivation, there
were no motorised or mechanised equipments available in the state. KAMCO, was
adventurous enough to venture into this bleak scenario, and introduced its power tillers and
other medium and small sized mechanical aids of cultivation. The Kerala farmers grabbed
this opportunity, and made use of the benefits of automation in their fields, which in turn
made the entire operations of the KAMCO successful. As of now, KAMCO is the one and
only one industrial unit in the state, which provides machineries to the farming segment as an
aid to their cultivation. Being a monopoly, KAMCO controls the Kerala market in supplies of
automated farming equipments.
The Kerala Agro Industries Corporation Limited (KAIC Ltd.) Trivandrum,
(Government of Kerala Company) promoted the establishment of Kerala Agro Machinery
Corporation Limited (KAMCO).The KAIC Ltd. Entered into a technical collaboration
agreement with M/S.Kubota Limited, Japan in February 1972.On 15.11.1972, the Kerala
Industrial and Technical Consultancy Organisation Limited (KITCO) were entrusted with the
work of Rs.2 crores as a subsidiary of M/S.KAIC Ltd, which held the entire paid up capital
shares in KAMCO. Even though the company was formed as a subsidiary of KAIC Ltd,
subsequently the company became a fully owned government company by transferring the
shares held by KAIC Ltd.
CHAPTER- III
