New Product Launch

Escorts Kubota introduced the Kubota PRO588i-G paddy cultivate combine harvester. The PRO588i-G harvests stalks close to the root, enabling farmers to produce longer straw. The straw can be used as fodder for cattle or in biomass plants, providing farmers with a financial alternative to stubble burning, which is a major factor that contributes to air pollution.

The harvester features a Japanese-designed threshing system to minimise breakage in long-grain Basmati rice for better grain quality, market price, and export competitiveness. The harvester’s weight is approximately 2,700 kg, much lighter than the old 9,000 kg harvesters, and minimises soil compaction and land preparation costs for future use in crop production.

• Akira Kato, Deputy Managing Director: “This launch fits into our strategy of introducing innovations that enhance productivity, profitability, and sustainability in Indian agriculture.”
