The small scale of individual producers limits agricultural mechanisation in many developing countries. Tractor sharing via rental markets has the potential to achieve economies of scale, enabling smallholder farmers’ access to mechanisation and increasing productivity. This project explores the benefits of and prevalent frictions on rental market for tractors using georeferenced records from a novel digital tractor sharing platform in Kenya and Nigeria.
