Acceleration of mechanization is one of the effective methods to increase farming productivity. Mechanization status in Indonesian agriculture is not sufficient yet and the current objectives of mechanization is in the stage of intensification of production and relocation of manual labor from farming activities. However, mechanization should also support farm management to become industrialized to increase farm household welfare.
