Sustainable Economic Development in a Population Powerhouse India

Introduction

A population powerhouse with continuing rapid economic growth, India is gaining global recognition as a leading BRICs country. Because it is one of the world’s largest agricultural countries and the single largest market for tractors, ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ has been working hard to develop the type of tractors that match user needs in India. In 2015, ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ succeeded with the introduction of the MU5501, a new type of multi-purpose tractor, as a part of its full-scale entry into this market. The MU5501 multi-purpose tractor was developed through the implementation of a thorough market-in approach to effectively meet user needs in a market where tractors are employed mainly in upland farming. The MU5501 is set to play an extremely important role in ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµâ€™s future. Tackling the massive Indian market and establishing a presence means contributing to the sustainable economic development of this population powerhouse, including the agricultural sector, which will lead directly to the achievement of a priority ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ goal - the provision of solutions to global food problems. ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµâ€™s future dreams are riding on the new multi-purpose MU5501.
