Export Trading Group Logistics (ETGL) has entered into a distributorship agreement with VST Tillers Tractors, a leading farm equipment manufacturer from India, and a complete range of the VST compact tractors and power tillers is now available throughout Southern Africa.

VST SHAKTI is India’s No 1 brand in power tillers (or walk-behind tractors). A pioneer in compact four-wheel drive tractors, VST also offers the “Fieldtrac” range of compact and agricultural tractors. VST Tillers Tractors was established in 1967 by the VST Group of companies, a well-known century old business house in South India.

The compact tractors range covers outputs from 18,5 hp (14 kW) to 24 hp (18 kW), while the power tillers are available with outputs ranging from 13 hp (10 kW) to 16 hp (12 kW).

A range of implements such as ploughs, tillers, ridgers, planters, trailers, and slashers is also available to use with these machines. This range is ideally suited for small and emerging farmers where affordable mechanisation is a key requirement.

Antony Cherukara, CEO of VST Tillers Tractors Ltd, said: “VST is one of the fastest growing brands in the agriculture segment and commands a leadership position in power tillers and 4WD compact tractors. We are focussed on international business with exports of tractors, power tillers, power reapers and diesel engines to more than 40 countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. Farm holding in most of the Southern African countries is dominated by small and marginal farmers, thereby making these small farm mechanisation technologies a truly relevant option.”

Rajeev Saxena, ETGL CEO, commented: “The expansion of our product offering will create more opportunities for the Group to delve deeper into the Southern and East African Farm Equipment Market, serving a wide range of agricultural customers.”

ETGL operates an established automotive and farm equipment distribution business in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Zambia, and Tanzania, with plans to increase their footprint in East and Southern Africa, amongst other regions.
