The Market

With 135 Mio. ha arable land, accounting for 10% of global arable land China is one of the largest agricultural markets in the world. The majority of arable land is located in mountainous regions managed by small-scale farms that have to provide food to almost one-fifth of mankind. Additionally, about half of the total arable land is arid or semi-arid requiring extensive irrigation. Even though China is TOP 4 of agriculture imports, mechanisation of agriculture is still relatively low. In view of the growing need of food and the demand of work forces in rural areas Chinese farms particularly look for small-scale, robust and easy-to-use machinery in China.
