Market Growth Factors

The Latin America agricultural equipment market is driven by growing food demand due to population growth and increasing per capita consumption, which is being satisfied by increasing productivity through the use of mechanization. Government initiatives and corporate promotion of sustainable practices are driving the potential for precision agriculture technologies to increase resource efficiency. High labor costs in some countries are also driving them to invest in new technologies for agricultural mechanization to reduce reliance on labor and increase efficiency.

People often describe it as a way to farm precisely that relies on geolocation from GPS, drones, and other IoT devices. Hydrosat obtained commercial contracts with partners in Latin America in 2024. The goal is to address water stress and irrigation issues using thermal imaging, which directly improves crop yields. Focus on integrating technology in sustainable and efficient agriculture production.

Government programs and investment also support this market. In Brazil, the 2023/2024 Crop Plan allocated BRL 364.22 billion in agricultural production financing, 27% higher than the previous year. This plan favors better access to credit with lower interest rates for medium-sized rural producers (10.5% per year), with emphasis on the Moderfrota equipment acquisition plan. Medium rural producers are also helping to modernize the fleet of agricultural equipment.
