Why Dealers Should Stock Crop Power Reapers Before Harvest Season – Avoid Last Minute Rush
India’s farms are changing fast, but when it comes to harvesting, the gap in mechanisation is still big. While nearly 70% of farmers now use machines for seedbed preparation, only about 34% use machines for harvesting. This shows a huge opportunity for both farmers and dealers.
India has more than 146 million farmers, and out of these, 86% are small and marginal farmers who own less than 2 hectares of land. These farmers face the most challenges during harvest time because of:
Labour shortages – rising costs and fewer workers available in villages.
Uncertain weather – short harvest windows demand fast and timely cutting.
Fragmented land holdings – small plots that need compact, efficient machines.
In this situation, Crop Power Reapers are becoming a lifeline. They help farmers cut crops quickly, manage residue well, and prepare fields faster for the next sowing.
For dealers, this growing demand from farmers is not just a trend; it is a serious business opportunity. But to benefit, they must stock Power Reapers before the harvest rush begins.
Farmer Demand is the Key Driver
The demand for crop reapers in India is increasing rapidly. Farmers cannot depend on just labour during peak harvest because:
Labour is costly and often unavailable.
Harvest windows are short, and the weather is unpredictable.
Manual harvesting through sickles is slow compared to a dhan katne ki machine.
This is why Made in India Power Reapers like Krishitek are becoming the first choice for small and marginal farmers. Whether it is a paddy reaper, soybean reaper, or even a Gehu katai machine, dealers who stock Krishitek Power Reaper machines early can meet this demand with confidence.
Government support has also made adoption easier. Farmers save through subsidies and GST benefits:

GST Reduction
GST on harvesting machinery, including Power Reapers and Tractor Reapers, reduced from 12% to 5%.
Another big change is farmers trust in Power Reaper manufacturers in India. Instead of imported machines, farmers prefer Krishitek Power Reapers because they offer reliable performance, easy service, and assured spare parts availability.
For dealers, this demand is a strong business opportunity. By stocking Krishitek Power Reapers early, they can benefit from subsidy-driven sales, win farmer trust, and avoid last-minute competition.
