The process of harvesting grain crops is done by using combine harvesters. This involves cutting the plants at ground level. This is done to allow the grains to fall through sieves and into the collection tank. The combined crop is then carried to the center of the machine via a conveyor. The threshing mechanism in the machine breaks up the harvested plant to separate the grain from the chaff and stalks. The chaff and stalks then pass along straw walkers towards the back of the machine. Some combines are also equipped with attachments that can collect and bag straw in addition to other tasks. Another feature of modern combines is the power take off. The power take off is connected to the tractor engine and can be used for various functions. It can be used to power the threshing machine, power the auger, or for other purposes.
Market Statistics:
The global Combine Harvesters Market is estimated to account for US$ 4238.7 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2021.
Global Combine Harvesters Market: Drivers
Growing government support to enhance farm mechanization is driving growth of the combine harvesters market. For instance, Indian government has recognized the need for inclusive growth of farm mechanization sector in the country, as result of this, a sub mission on Agricultural Mechanization was launched in 2014-15 and the Indian government allocated US$ 479.7 million during 2014-15 to 2018-19, and during 2018-19, it was US$ 146 million. This will boost the sale of combine harvesters, along with other farm machineries in the country.
