Middle East & Africa Compact Tractors Market Overview

The Middle East & Africa compact tractors market is further segmented into South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of MEA. Agriculture is challenging for GCC nations due to their marginal environments that are characterized by poor soil quality, high temperatures, and low annual rainfall. Moreover, they are highly vulnerable countries due to water scarcity, salinity, and climate change. GCC countries are pioneering and leveraging agricultural technology to overcome barriers associated with desert ecosystems and stimulate domestic food supplies. The UAE is striving to become the most food-secure nation by 2051, and hence, the adoption of agricultural technology has been rising to increase domestic food production. Additionally, positive changes in business scenarios, increased competitiveness, and a rise in female participation in workforces in countries such as Kuwait and Oman strongly aid in the growth of the agricultural sector. Such factors are likely to generate new opportunities for compact tractors market vendors in the coming years.

The countries in the MEA are strongly focusing on enabling food security from national sources, optimal utilization of available water resources, enhancing the productivity of the agriculture sector, and encouraging joint ventures with private sector contribution. The World Bank Gulf Economic Update (GEU) projects GCC's GDP to grow by 2.5% in 2023 and 3.2% in 2024; however, the agricultural sector is expected to fare better. Such factors are likely to generate new opportunities for compact tractors market vendors across the region.
