Mechanization & Equipment
Tractor density and mechanization adoption — among the lowest globally.
Data available for 5 of 15 ECOWAS countries
Sparse mechanization data reflects limited tracking — itself an indicator of low mechanization adoption.
Under 20% mechanization adoption — among the lowest globally. Low tractor density limits productivity gains and makes farming labor-intensive.
