Dublin, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “India Agriculture Engines Market, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2021-2031F” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The India Agriculture Engines Market was valued at USD 2.07 Billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 3.01 Billion by 2031, rising at a CAGR of 6.81%.
Agricultural engines are specialized engines designed to power various machinery and equipment used in farming and agricultural activities. These engines provide the necessary mechanical energy to operate tractors, irrigation pumps, harvesters, threshers, and other farming tools, enhancing productivity and efficiency in agriculture. Typically, agricultural engines are robust, durable, and built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, including dust, moisture, and temperature variations.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="" height="400" src="//www.researchandmarkets.com/content-images/2349/2349033/1/indian-agriculture-engines-market.png" width="600" />
Most agricultural engines run on diesel or gasoline, chosen for their fuel efficiency and ability to deliver high torque at low speeds, which is essential for heavy-duty farming tasks. The design of these engines focuses on simplicity and reliability to ensure easy maintenance and long service life in rural areas where technical support may be limited. Some modern agricultural engines also incorporate advanced technologies such as electronic fuel injection and emission control systems to meet environmental standards and improve fuel economy.
In essence, agricultural engines are the heart of mechanized farming, driving equipment that reduces manual labor, increases crop yield, and supports large-scale food production. Their development has significantly transformed agriculture by enabling faster land preparation, planting, and harvesting, which ultimately contributes to food security and economic growth worldwide.
Increasing Mechanization in Indian Agriculture
India’s agricultural sector has historically been labor-intensive, with a large portion of the population engaged in farming using traditional tools and manual labor. However, the gradual shift towards mechanization is one of the primary drivers boosting the demand for agricultural engines in the country. Mechanization enhances productivity, reduces dependency on manual labor, and speeds up farming processes such as plowing, sowing, irrigation, and harvesting.
Farmers, especially in regions with larger landholdings, are increasingly adopting tractors, power tillers, and irrigation pumps that rely on efficient engines. These engines provide the necessary power and durability to handle rigorous farm work. The government’s push through various schemes and subsidies to encourage farm mechanization has also played a vital role in increasing the adoption of agricultural machinery.
Furthermore, the rising cost and unavailability of farm labor during peak seasons have accelerated the switch to machines powered by reliable engines. Small and marginal farmers are also gradually adopting low-cost engines and machinery, recognizing the benefits of mechanization in reducing time and labor costs. As mechanization grows, the demand for fuel-efficient, durable, and easy-to-maintain agricultural engines also increases, propelling the market forward. The mechanization level in India has increased from around 40% in the early 2000s to over 55% by 2023, indicating more farmers are adopting machinery.
High Initial Cost and Affordability Issues for Small Farmers
One of the significant challenges facing the agricultural engines market in India is the high initial cost of purchasing mechanized equipment powered by engines. While mechanization offers clear benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity, the upfront investment required to acquire tractors, power tillers, and irrigation pumps can be prohibitively expensive for many small and marginal farmers.
In India, a large proportion of farmers own small landholdings, often less than two hectares, which limits their capacity to invest in costly machinery. Despite subsidies and government schemes, the overall affordability remains a barrier, especially in economically weaker rural regions. Many small-scale farmers depend on informal credit or moneylenders, who charge high-interest rates, making it difficult to finance such investments sustainably. Moreover, the cost of fuel and ongoing maintenance adds to the financial burden, discouraging farmers from purchasing or even maintaining engine-powered machinery. Diesel and petrol prices fluctuate frequently, creating uncertainty in operating costs. For many small farmers, the risk of investing in expensive machinery without assured financial returns can be daunting.
The inability to afford agricultural engines often forces small farmers to continue relying on manual labor or traditional methods, which are less efficient and limit productivity gains. This divide between large-scale farmers who can mechanize and small farmers who cannot creates disparities in income and output.
To overcome this challenge, there is a growing need for affordable financing options, innovative leasing or rental models, and more cost-effective engine technologies tailored to small-scale farming. Encouraging cooperative ownership of machinery or community-level rental services can also help increase access. Without addressing these affordability issues, the potential of agricultural engines to transform Indian agriculture may remain limited for a substantial portion of the farming population.
Shift Towards Sustainable and Fuel-Efficient Engines
A prominent trend shaping the Indian agricultural engines market is the increasing focus on sustainability and fuel efficiency. As environmental awareness grows globally and within India, farmers and manufacturers alike are moving towards engines that consume less fuel and emit fewer pollutants. This trend aligns with stricter government regulations on emissions and rising fuel prices, pushing the market toward cleaner, more efficient technologies.
Traditionally, many agricultural engines in India have been diesel-powered, known for their power and durability but also for higher emissions and fuel consumption. In response, manufacturers are investing in developing engines that incorporate advanced combustion technologies, electronic fuel injection systems, and better air-fuel management. These improvements enable engines to deliver the required power while significantly reducing fuel use and harmful exhaust emissions.
This shift also reflects the broader move towards sustainable farming practices. Farmers are increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of their operations and are adopting mechanized solutions that help minimize carbon footprints. The government supports this transition through policies promoting cleaner fuels and incentivizing energy-efficient machinery. In addition, there is a growing interest in alternative power sources for agricultural equipment. Although still at a nascent stage in India, electric and hybrid engines are beginning to attract attention. The potential benefits include zero emissions, lower operating costs, and quieter operation – features especially appealing for smaller farms and horticultural applications.
This trend also influences after-sales services and product innovation. Manufacturers provide maintenance programs aimed at optimizing engine performance and fuel use, while training farmers on eco-friendly operation techniques. As a result, agricultural engines that meet sustainability criteria are gaining a competitive edge in the market.

PASCO, Wash., June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ecorobotix, an AI company specializing in precision agriculture, announces the launch of its new Lettuce Thinning algorithm, expanding the capabilities of its ARA Ultra High Precision (UHP) Sprayer to offer one of the most advanced automated thinning solutions on the market. This new functionality is now available to ARA users via a software license—enabling precise, plant-by-plant thinning without the need for additional equipment or hand labor.
“This is a major milestone for our customers in the lettuce industry,” said Katerina Lee Regional Crop Care Manager at Ecorobotix. “We’ve combined the power of AI with the reliability of ARA’s ultra-high precision spraying platform to eliminate one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks in the field—thinning.”
Key Advantages of the Lettuce Thinning Algorithm:
<ul>
<li>Replaces Manual Labor: Growers can eliminate thinning crews and reduce labor costs. The ARA system performs thinning autonomously with just one operator.</li>
<li>Superior Uniformity: ARA uses mathematical precision to define plant spacing, ensuring consistent stands and removing human variability.</li>
<li>Faster Field Coverage: ARA outpaces manual crews, covering fields quickly while maintaining accuracy.</li>
<li>Easy Integration: Existing ARA owners can activate lettuce thinning through a simple license subscription.</li>
<li>Multi-Purpose Platform: The same ARA sprayer can be used for weeding and other crop protection tasks, allowing year-round value from one machine.</li>
<li>True Plant Selection: ARA distinguishes between crops and weeds on the planting line, preserving the right plant every time.</li>
<li>Simple Operation: With an intuitive interface and minimal setup required, the ARA sprayer is easy for any operator to use.</li>
</ul>
This innovation is part of Ecorobotix’s broader mission to help growers reduce labor, increase yield potential, and improve operational efficiency through cutting-edge Plant-by-Plant AI technology.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Majority of recent transactions involve smaller operators, but major moves among larger entities could be coming in 2025
DENVER, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The pace of merger and acquisition activity in the U.S. convenience store sector is accelerating with recent trends suggesting the nation’s c-store landscape is ripe for more change. While most of the transactions in 2024 involved smaller chains or single-store operators, several larger operators inked deals to significantly expand their footprints into new regions. 
According to a new research brief from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange, c-store consolidation stands to disproportionally affect rural communities, many of which lack a grocery store or access to major food delivery services. Convenience stores often fill an important need in rural areas, providing local access to food, grocery items, fuel and even household staples.
“Mass merchandisers like Walmart are unevenly spread among states through various regions of the country,” said Billy Roberts, food and beverage economist with CoBank. “Convenience stores are found in towns large or small. Food insecurity affects roughly 1 in 10 Americans and nearly 90% of U.S. counties with the highest rates of food insecurity are rural. Consequently, c-store consolidation trends can have a significant impact on food accessibility in rural areas.”
The convenience store market remains heavily fragmented and widely dispersed, which lends itself to additional consolidation. The U.S. had 152,396 convenience stores in 2024, a 1.5% year-over-year increase, according to data from the National Association of Convenience Stores. Only 22 c-store chains in the U.S. have more than 400 locations, while roughly 96,000 have 10 or fewer. The majority of the sector – 63% – is comprised of single-store operators. “The vast number of single-unit operators alone points to opportunities for larger chains to expand their relationships or acquire new properties to maximize efficiencies across supply chains and distribution networks,” Roberts added.
Acquisitions of smaller operators have been commonplace in recent years. Data from Capstone Partners indicates 80% of deals completed in 2023 were for target companies of less than 50 stores. Through September of 2024, 74% of the transactions involved smaller c-store entities.
However, several major moves involving some of the largest operators have occurred in recent years. Notable examples in 2023 include Maverik purchasing Kum & Go’s 400 c-stores, RaceTrac’s purchase of Gulf Oil and its 1,000 branded sites, and BP’s $1.3 billion acquisition of TravelCenters of America.
Similar activity in 2024 was largely driven by major chains looking to expand their geographical footprint. FEMSA purchased 249-unit Delek US Holdings. Casey’s acquired 198 CEFCO c-stores for $1.15 billion, pushing the chain to over 2,900 locations. And Sunoco sold 200 stores to 7-Eleven in a $1 billion deal.
The biggest potential deal that could shake up the market even further puts 7-Eleven’s 13,000 U.S. locations on the table, along with its market-leading position. While 7-Eleven recently announced plans to open 1,300 new stores in North America through 2030, it has been an acquisition target itself lately. Canada-based Alimentation Couche-Tard recently attempted to purchase 7-Eleven owner Seven & i Holdings for nearly $40 billion.
In a saga that began in August 2024, the Canadian c-store chain and 7-Eleven are reportedly working on a potential divestiture package to address regulatory concerns considered a major hurdle to the merger. Alimentation Touche-Card is well represented in the c-store sector with over 7,000 Circle K locations. Under a merger, the combined 7-Eleven/Circle K would be nearly 10 times the size of their next-closest competitor and own more than 13% of all c-stores in the US.
Roberts said regardless of how things play out with 7-Eleven, major acquisitions within the c-store space generally require significant capital expenditure investments. “Rebranding acquired units can demand upwards of $1 million per store, mostly for upgrading or building out kitchens to support foodservice aspirations. The evolution of c-stores as food destinations is playing a significant role in all these acquisition moves.”

<h5>Certified Tea Sommelier Gabrielle Jammal Shares Expert Tips for National Iced Tea Day and Why Tejava Is Her Summer Go-To</h5>
</div></div>
NEW YORK, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — National Iced Tea Day is June 10, and it’s the perfect time to raise a glass and toast to everyone’s favorite summertime beverage. Certified Tea Sommelier Gabrielle Jammal, teamed with Tejava this week to participate in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss National Iced Tea Day, what to look for in an iced tea, and some creative ways to enjoy Tejava this summer.
When it comes to iced tea, quality ingredients and origin are key. Similar to wine, tea is deeply influenced by where and how it’s grown. Tejava is a premium, unsweetened bottled tea brewed in small batches using leaves from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms in Java, Indonesia. It’s crafted to preserve the natural flavor and character of the tea leaves.
Tejava offers a clean, refreshing tea experience with zero sugar, zero calories, and no added preservatives, making it a convenient and healthy option for summer. Available in a variety of unsweetened flavors and bottled in both single-serve and 1-liter formats, it’s ideal for serving at summer meals or sharing with guests as an elevated non-alcoholic option.
While Tejava is refreshing and delicious straight from the bottle, it also invites creativity. Adding sparkling water and fresh fruit can transform it into a bubbly, tea-infused drink that’s perfect for summer gatherings. Its variety of unsweetened flavors and 1-liter glass bottle also makes it a great companion at the table.
In celebration of National Iced Tea Day, Tejava is offering a special promotion exclusively for residents of California. From June 7 through June 13, more than 20,000 free bottles of Tejava will be distributed through DashMart on DoorDash. Californians can participate by placing a grocery order via the DoorDash app and selecting the DashMart icon—eligible customers will receive a free bottle of Tejava with their delivery.

Picton, Ont., June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Protein Industries Canada announced a partnership with Grain Discovery, Inarix and Sevita International to bring artificial intelligence (AI) into the palms of farmers’ hands and further strengthen Canada’s trusted grain quality system. The project will develop a smartphone-based grain quality assurance tool that builds on Canada’s existing dependable grading framework by bringing in digital capacity, supporting informed crop management decisions and expanding access to real-time quality data.
By leveraging AI, specifically computer vision and machine learning algorithms, the project partners will provide options to complement grain testing methods with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. Once developed, the platform will allow users to take a photo of a soybean sample using a standard smartphone and receive an AI-generated quality assessment in under 20 seconds. By delivering consistent, scalable and real-time results, the tool will help improve information flow throughout the grain value chain—from field to export—and support more marketing opportunities for Canadian farmers.
“With support from Protein Industries Canada, one of Canada’s Global Innovation Clusters, this project has the potential to mark a significant milestone in our journey towards a more efficient and sustainable agricultural future,” said the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions. “By integrating AI, we aim to enhance the competitiveness of our value chains and drive economic growth in the Canadian agricultural industry.”
“The integration of digital innovation and agricultural expertise is reshaping Canada’s agrifood sector,” CEO of Protein Industries Canada Robert Hunter said. “This project demonstrates how advanced, accessible AI tools can help optimize decision-making at the farm level. By enhancing consistency and traceability, this technology supports delivery of high-quality, food grade crops. It’s a strong example of how collaborative innovation strengthens Canada’s position as a global agri-food leader.”
The AI app will analyze high-resolution images to provide consistent, high-quality assessments of soybeans. Key features of the platform include:

<ul>
<li>Real-time, standardized assessments of soybean variety;</li>
<li>Enhanced traceability and transparency for grain buyers and processors; and</li>
<li>Increased accessibility with tools designed for smartphone use across rural regions.</li>
</ul>

Grain Discovery will lead the commercialization and market deployment of a solution that will include the AI technological brick developed and provided by Inarix, while Sevita International will contribute critical historical data and serve as the primary pilot site for real-world testing and validation.
“We see this as a strong addition to our existing product suite,” said Rory O’Sullivan, CEO of Grain Discovery. “We’re helping our clients get fast, reliable insights into grain quality. It’s another step forward in making the supply chain more transparent and efficient. I only wish I had something like this 20 years ago when I was out sampling grain!”
“We are proud to participate in this project and to bring our AI expertise in grain quality assessment to a new, high value-added sector,” said Audric Chauveau, Head of Product at Inarix.
“High value Canadian grains, like food-grade soybeans, are renowned worldwide for their exceptional quality—a reputation built over decades through strategic investment in genetics, infrastructure and most importantly, the expertise and professionalism of our farmers,” said Sandy Hart, General Manager of Sevita International. “By embracing new technologies to enhance the purity and quality of the harvest entering our facilities, we can further Canada’s position as a global leader—delivering benefits across the entire value chain.”
A total of $1.3 million has been invested into the project, with Protein Industries Canada committing $700,000 and the partners together committing the remainder. Protein Industries Canada’s artificial intelligence stream is funded as part of the Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy (PCAIS), through which the Government of Canada is investing in efforts to drive the adoption of artificial intelligence across Canada’s economy and society. This project supports The Road to $25 Billion by building on our strong agriculture foundation, creating a stronger crop supply for our ingredient manufacturers and food processors.
Protein Industries Canada is one of Canada’s five Global Innovation Clusters. Protein Industries Canada and its members are working to embrace the $25 billion opportunity presented by Canada’s ingredient manufacturing, food processing and bio-product sector. Projects such as these add value to, an create new markets for, Canadian crops, generating local jobs and supporting new economic development in locations across Canada.
