Farming indeed accounts for more than 70% of Zambia’s population. Smallholding in rural areas to large commercial farming operations requires dependable and efficient tractors to ensure productivity and sustainability. Among such high-end global brands of agricultural machinery, Solis offers a diverse range of tractors that cater to the varied needs of farmers in Zambia. In this blog, we’ll dive into how Solis meets the needs of Zambian farmers and why Solis tractors are the right choice for Zambia’s agricultural landscape.
- Understanding the Zambia Agricultural Landscape
Zambia has a diverse agriculture sector in that it has several crops around which farmers operate: maize, tobacco, cotton, sugarcane, and vegetables, among others. Most farmers in the area are small-scale and have land below five hectares. Many such farmers lack modern farm machinery, have poor infrastructure, and have uncertain weather conditions. Large commercial farms require more powerful machinery for more intensive agricultural practices. To address these diverse issues, Solis has developed diverse tractors to cater to the diverse needs of Zambian farmers.
- Solis Tractors for Small Farmer Operators
Having limited areas on a farm at times, small-scale farming is normally more labor-demanding for farmholders in Zambia. Having the appropriate tractor for their farming activities will greatly save labour costs and enhance overall productivity. Solis compact tractors are meant specifically for small-scale farming to attain that absolute balance of power, size, and affordability.
- Solis Tractors for Mid-Scale Farmers
Zambia has a huge proportion of medium-scale farmers. Medium-scale farmers are seen to operate on larger land areas and have more intensive farming. Such farmers need tractors that can handle daily needs and more challenging operations. Solis offers a series of models that attain a balance in terms of power efficiency and versatility. For medium-sized farms, Solis 50-75 HP tractors are in heavy demand for operational capability and efficiency. These models can pull and plough bigger fields while compact enough for smaller spaces.
