Agricultural machinery is a vast range of mechanical devices, equipment, and vehicles designed to aid in various farming and agricultural tasks. These machines are crucial in the upgrading and improvement of agricultural processes. They include tractors and plows for soil preparation, seeders and planters for crop planting, harvesters and threshers for grain collection, and irrigation systems for efficient water management.

The development drivers of Japan Agriculture Machinery market are varied and may be linked to a number of main variables. In terms of advantages, the tractor is one of the most significant parts of farm machinery used by most farmers. Tractor use is increasing in Japan in compared to other agricultural equipment. Overall agriculture machinery production in 2020 is estimated to reach USD 3734.78 million, according to the Japan Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers Association. Tractors account for 57% of overall agricultural machinery value.

Furthermore, rice is the most important crop in Japan, accounting for around 47% of agricultural output value each year. Because rice is the country's most mechanized crop, agricultural equipment, notably tractors, is widely used.

Despite technological advancements and high production standards, the Japanese agricultural machinery sector faces a number of significant challenges. One important source of concern is the aging farming population, with an increasing share of farmers over the age of 65. This generational changeover raises concerns about traditional farmers' embrace of modern gear and technology, as they may be averse to change. Furthermore, the shortage of agricultural land and the dispersion of land ownership make widespread use of large-scale machinery impossible. Another hurdle is the high cost of agricultural machinery, which makes it impossible for smaller farmers to invest in cutting-edge technology.
