One third of agrarians are ready to overpay for the faster delivery of replacement parts
According to a survey conducted by the Association «Ukrainian Agribusiness Club» (UCAB) in March this year, 34% of agrarians throughout Ukraine are willing to overpay for reducing the delivery time for replacement parts for agricultural machinery repair.
The average delivery of machine parts lasts 58 hours from the time of ordering. Provided that the time of delivery will reduced by half, agrarians are ready to pay 20% more for the delivery of parts for harvesters, 18% - for spraying machines and 16-17% - for tractors, sowers and groundcare machines.
«During the so-called «hot periods», that is during the sowing season, spraying, harvesting, more than half of the agrarians are willing to overpay for reducing the time of parts delivery for the main types of machinery, because the losses from downtime for repairs in this period are much bigger», - said Petro Lakhay, analyst of agricultural markets of the Association «Ukrainian Agribusiness Club» (UCAB).
