Market Growth Factors
The primary drivers of Latin America's growth include technological innovations to improve agricultural output. Four technologies have been the most relevant including: global positioning systems (GPS), drones, Internet of things (IoT) enabled machinery and precision agriculture technologies. In September 2024, the climate technology company Hydrosat announced four commercial agreements with Latin American companies such as Rex Irrigación Huasteca, EE Print Pack and Grupo INDERS to give data-driven solutions to growers in Mexico and Guatemala and to help them adopt climate-smart agriculture practices.
Government actions also greatly contribute to market growth. In August 2023, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil announced the launch of the 2023/2024 Crop Plan with BRL 364.22 billion of credit lines to support national agricultural production until June 2024. This was 27% higher than BRL 287.16 billion for the previous plan, and it was largely aimed at medium-sized rural producers with increases in credit and investment. The Pronamp and Moderfrota programs also increased the eligibility limits and reduced the financing costs.
Growing labor costs and the need to improve production efficiency are causing farm machineries and modern equipment adoption. Because of climate change impacts, there is also an increasing demand for using modern agricultural equipment and technologies to improve crop production. Accompanied by government-led initiatives on environmentally friendly farming, this has led to an increased demand for agricultural machinery and equipment.
