NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 27 – Transport solutions provider CMC Motors Group, has announced plans to strengthen its agricultural offering on the back of increased demand for farm machinery.

As part of the plans, CMC Motors has introduced to this market, the New Holland TT4 economy utility tractors.

Speaking at a launch reception for the firm’s customers in Kisumu, CMC Motors Chief Executive Officer, Mark Johnson attributed the growing demand for mechanized agricultural solutions to increased economic production activities at the county level.

He noted that the growing entry of a largely youthful and professional social class of agri-business entrepreneurs that favour mechanized farming solutions has created a latent demand for tractors and related implements.

“At CMC Motors, we have noted a close to 30% growth on tractor orders placed with us, largely from farmers, building and construction contractors and the public sector particularly county governments’,” Johnson said, adding that, “The New Holland T4 economy utility tractor range redefines the tractor market with its versatility as an all-round workhorse in the farm and beyond.”

The firm’s release of the New Holland TT4 Tractor model, he added, provides a reliable and economical solution for small and large scale farmers. The new TT4 tractor series is built upon the success of the preceding TT range, which was first released by New Holland in 2005 globally.

In Kenya, CMC Motors Divisional Manager, Alexander Makaa, said the firm has sold over 3,000 TT series tractors countrywide in the last ten years and will be hoping to leverage on the brand reliability to double the units sold by the year 2020.

“With such marked success on the New Holland product, at CMC Motors, we have also enhanced our after sales support with dedicated rapid response field service teams and spares centre at all our branches,” Makaa said.

He noted that New Holland Agriculture’s formula for outstanding performance in agricultural and related accessories involves mixing raw power and superior control with the ultimate in customer flexibility. He expressed optimism that the new TT4 tractors, will claim their deserved market position as the natural choice for livestock, arable or related agricultural contracting applications.
