Yanmar Rice Transplanter
ACI recently introduced Rice Transplanter from Yanmar. Yanmar is the number one global Agricultural Machineries Company. The capacity of Yanmar Rice Transplanter is 0.4 hectare/hour. By using this machine, farmers can reduce cost up to 78% and save time up to 64%. Using the traditional method, cost of rice transplanting would be about 8,000 taka/hectare. Whereas, cost of planting using machines is about 780 taka/hectare. Moreover, 30 Kg rice seeds are required in every hectare of land by the traditional method. On the other hand, the mechanical process would take only 22 Kg/hectare.
Even by using 8 kg seed, farmers can save up to 400 taka. Thus, saving about 80 percent cost is possible using mechanical rice transplanting process. ACI Motors is supplying Transplanter as well as training on usage, maintenance, and after-sales service.
