Call for application is open for Rwanda youth through the Myculture initiative of the Ministry of youth and culture in partnership with AGRA

This is a call for applications from young people interested in agriculture mechanisation to apply for John Deer Tractor.

Agricultural mechanization is vital for the development of African Agriculture, but it will not succeed if investments into agricultural mechanization remain independent and uncoordinated between actors in the public and private sectors. The challenges in enhancing the prevalence and uptake of mechanization are the following:

  • Lack of tractors and implements where and when they are needed
  • Lack of contractors who are operating farm mechanization businesses accessible to smallholder farmers
  • Lack of maintenance and spare parts centers in the rural areas
  • Agricultural Mechanization Stations and Agriculture Technology Development Centres are not set up to service the primary production of smallholder farmers.

The contractor model allows smallholder farmers (if organized) to solve the problem of access to mechanization equipment but also provides the potential for them to evolve into fully-fledged micro enterprises, which can provide employment and add impetus to the economies of rural regions of Africa.

It against the above background that The Ministry of youth and Culture in partnership with AGRA, call for proposals of young people interested in agriculture mechanization to increase productivity to apply for John Deer Tractor, in a bid to contribute to the solution of the above mentioned challenges.
