1. Based on the size of agricultural land owned by farmers there are three key
demographics
• Marginal farmers – they are the largest demographic with a majority portion living
in Uttar Pradesh. The average size of land owned by marginal farmers is only 0.4
hectares (1 acre). These farmers will most likely buy Vanraj by taking loans.
However, banks are financing loans for farmers having land of size 3 acres and above
only and in that as well they are facing higher default rates. If these farmers opt for
loans from other agents, they then will have to pay higher interest rates which won’t
be a preferable option for them. Hence, these farmers will be apprehensive on
buying Vanraj.
• Small farmers – this segment satisfies the bank requirements for availing loans and
possess 1.4 hectares of land which can be easily and efficiently cultivated by them
using Vanraj.
• Large Farmers – these farmers have sufficient monetary funds available with them
and hence will prefer to buy tractors with higher horsepower. Hence, Not a target
audience for Vanraj.
As we can see from the cost benefit analysis, Vanraj tractors clearly provide cost benefit
over both bullocks and on renting other tractors. On top of this, time and effort saved from
cultivation would be a huge boost in productivity and efficiency of these farmers. Since
Vanraj consumes less fuel as compared to big tractors, it will increase profits for the farmers
and will lead to less default rates of loans. Since, no big competitors are working towards
creating a mini tractor, the first move advantage would help Mr. Trivedi in capturing the
majority market share.
