Escorts tractors to head for Tanzania

Date: 06-07-2010

Tractor manufacturer Escorts Ltd has won an order worth Rs 185 crore to supply 1,430 units of tractors to the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania starting from July. Escorts has an immediate plan to open two offices in the African continent and set up a service and upkeep infrastructure in Africa.

 

Escorts will supply the tractors from its Farmtrac range in SKD form and assist Government organisations in Tanzania to assemble these tractors. The Farmtrac range comprises tractors of 34 hp-75 hp.

 

Against the global average of 19.7 tractors for 1,000 hectares of land, Tanzania is estimated to have about 2 tractors/1,000 hectares. The tractors are being procured by Tanzania to impart a major thrust to farm mechanisation and enhance agricultural productivity.crackcrack
