The state of farm mechanization in many African countries is deplorable and it is one of the main reasons for food insecurity in many parts of the continent. Amongst small scale farmers, access to farm mechanization services is low because of the high cost of largely imported agricultural machinery and equipment. Yet, a good fraction of the food consumed in African households is produced by small-scale farmers. According to the Government of Kenya, over 65% of agricultural production in the country is from small-scale farmers with land holdings between 1.2-12 acres. These farms contribute over 66% of marketed agricultural produce in Kenya according to the Agricultural Sector Transformation and Growth Strategy (2019-2029). Private sector enterprise has been hailed as the ideal vehicle for agricultural development in many parts of the world, including Africa. This implies that land ownership is largely in the hands of individual farmers who can utilize land according to their individual aspirations while obtaining inputs, including farm mechanization services through the market systems approach.
