Agricultural automation boosts productivity and reduces costs

Automation has already transformed the Brazilian countryside. According to a report by McKinsey & Company (2024), automated agricultural technologies can increase farm productivity by up to 30% in the next ten years and reduce production costs by up to 25%. In Brazil, this technological revolution is essential to handle the territorial dimension and climatic diversity, as well as to decrease the use of inputs and environmental impact. In this scenario, PTx, a brand of AGCO Group, reinforces its prominent role with high-precision digital solutions, such as the autopilot for tractors and agricultural machinery.
