3.1. Land preparation 2792
3.2. Mechanization of post-harvest operations 2796
4. Implications for mechanization policy 2799
4.1. Tractors are a poor instrument for stimulating agricultural growth 2799
4.2. Agricultural mechanization policy ought to be seen within the context of an overall agricul-
tural growth strategy 2799
4.3. The demand for motorizing power intensive operations, such as tillage and threshing, is
closely associated with the intensification of farming systems, while the mechanization of
control-intensive operations, such as weeding, is driven by rising real wages 2800
4.4. Promotion of small stationary machines for power-intensive operations such as milling and
pumping can have significant benefits for the poor 2800
4.5. Clearly established property rights could minimize the risk of displacement of small farmers
from their land 2801
4.6. Adoption of labor saving technology does not always imply labor displacement 2801
4.7. Public sector run tractor promotion projects, including tractor-hire operations, have neither
been successful nor equitable 2801
4.8. Alleviating supply side constraints to mechanization is important, but only where the de-
mand conditions are right and the enabling environment is in place 2802
4.9. Conservation agriculture is not a panacea for farming systems that are not mechanized
today 2802
4.10. Global integration of food and input markets can have positive as well as negative conse-
quences for small farm mechanization 2803

3. Impacts of agricultural mechanization 2792
3.1. Land preparation 2792
3.2. Mechanization of post-harvest operations 2796
4. Implications for mechanization policy 2799
4.1. Tractors are a poor instrument for stimulating agricultural growth 2799
4.2. Agricultural mechanization policy ought to be seen within the context of an overall agricul-
tural growth strategy 2799
4.3. The demand for motorizing power intensive operations, such as tillage and threshing, is
closely associated with the intensification of farming systems, while the mechanization of
control-intensive operations, such as weeding, is driven by rising real wages 2800
4.4. Promotion of small stationary machines for power-intensive operations such as milling and
pumping can have significant benefits for the poor 2800
4.5. Clearly established property rights could minimize the risk of displacement of small farmers
from their land 2801
4.6. Adoption of labor saving technology does not always imply labor displacement 2801
4.7. Public sector run tractor promotion projects, including tractor-hire operations, have neither
been successful nor equitable 2801
4.8. Alleviating supply side constraints to mechanization is important, but only where the de-
mand conditions are right and the enabling environment is in place 2802
4.9. Conservation agriculture is not a panacea for farming systems that are not mechanized
today 2802
4.10. Global integration of food and input markets can have positive as well as negative conse-
quences for small farm mechanization 2803
