Agricultural engineering is an industry that provides domestic and international demand for equipment such as soil tillage before sowing, sowing and planting equipment, irrigation, irrigation, and fertilization equipment. In addition, harvesters and post-harvest tillage machines are needed for some crops.

Agricultural engineering should also produce units for animal care, forage processing and harvesting. It should be noted that certain crops and animals require unique models of equipment, and any farm needs additional mechanisms to ensure water supply, as well as equipment for land reclamation operations.

Agricultural engineering in Russia is represented by several dozen large manufacturers that produce mainlygrain processing, grain harvesting, sowing equipment, harrows, seed dressers, sprayers, cultivators, rippers, seeders, mowers, plows, stubblers, precision seeding systems and other equipment. In addition, you can purchase domestic grain dryers, silage harvesting equipment, tractors, loaders, as well as grain storage complexes.

Among the enterprises, the following can be noted: Sibselmash-special equipment (Russian Technologies concern), MPK Argamak, OJSC Kuzembetevsky RMZ, Klaas Vostok LLC, Ivanteevsky Elevatormelmash, Gryazinsky cultivator plant, Voronezhselmash, Belinskselmash, Agrotekhmash, etc.

Domestic agricultural engineering is experiencing quite strong competition from Western manufacturers, whose products, however, are more expensive, which saves Russian manufacturers. In addition, it is quite difficult to get a loan from Russian banks for imported agricultural machines, they are more difficult to maintain due to the presence of on-board computers on many samples, which require highly qualified mechanics. It also gives some benefits to the above-mentioned factories and firms.

A successful example of how to develop tractor and agricultural engineering is the Republic of Belarus. Having preserved the "socialist heritage" and acquiring imported engines and other spare parts, Belarusian manufacturers produce samples with an optimal "price-quality" ratio, which allows them to successfully conquer the Russianmarket and supply products to some countries in Eastern Europe, as well as, for example, to Cuba.

Agricultural engineering plays an important role in ensuring the country's food security, so experts note with satisfaction that in recent years there has been some growth in this sector of the Russian economy. Some enterprises have chosen the “Belarusian way”, equipping the basic equipment with environmentally friendly engines, the use of which is required, for example, in Europe. Thus, the Rostselmash enterprise has so successfully advanced along the path of integrating Western experience into domestic developments that it has received customers in more than twenty countries of the world. It should be noted that Russian equipment of this level is three times cheaper than foreign analogues, not inferior to them in quality, which makes it very attractive for farmers and component manufacturers from other countries.
