Market Growth Factors

The primary driver of the Latin America agricultural equipment market is the growing demand for food production across the region. The agricultural equipment sector has seen tremendous growth in the region owing to the growing innovations in farming equipment. Precision agriculture developed. It applied GPS, drones, and the Internet of Things. This contributed to yield improving and better use of inputs in farming. For instance, in 2024, climate tech company Hydrosat signed numerous commercial deals for provision of thermal imaging solutions to combat water stress and promote sustainable agricultural practices in the region (including Mexico and Guatemala).

Latin American governments are seen as highly supportive of their agrarian sector. In 2023, among other spending pledges, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock released a massive Crop Plan which included a BRL 364.22 billion (USD 75.1 billion) budget for agriculture until mid-2024, a 27% increase from previous years' budgets. Pronamp and similar rural credit programs increased credit and investment for farmers, while other policies raised annual gross income thresholds for financing in response to increased agricultural prices and relaxed restrictions for financing machinery.

Programs such as Moderfrota, which provide financing to acquire agricultural machinery at interest rates of around 10.5% a year, lower the barrier to acquiring modern agricultural machinery. The rising cost of labor and the need for efficient production to remain competitive and productive in the new farming era, against the backdrop of climate change, has translated to a greater demand for agricultural machinery. Sustainable farming practices and government-led social innovation programs are also key drivers of inclusive market systems' emergence and expansion.
