Escorts Kubota launches 'PRO588i-G' combine harvester for Punjab & Haryana farmers
The launch of an innovative product addressing critical agricultural and environmental issues like stubble burning and grain quality has a high impact. It enhances the company's product portfolio, strengthens its market position in key agricultural regions, and contributes to sustainable farming practices, potentially leading to increased sales and brand reputation.
The new combine harvester offers multiple benefits including increased farmer income through straw reuse, reduced air pollution by preventing stubble burning, improved Basmati rice quality and export potential, and lower operational costs due to its lightweight design. These are all positive outcomes for farmers and the environment.
* Escorts Kubota Limited introduced ‘PRO588i -G’, a new combine harvester under the Kubota brand in Punjab and Haryana on 17 September 2025. * This harvester cuts the crop’s stalk near its base, enabling the collection and reuse of the full length of straw for cattle feed and biomass plants, offering farmers additional income. * It provides a profitable alternative to stubble burning, which is expected to help reduce air pollution in North India. * The ‘PRO588i -G’ incorporates a special threshing mechanism, designed in Japan, that significantly reduces the breakage of fragile long-grain Basmati rice, thereby increasing its price and export potential. * Weighing just 2,700 kilograms, significantly less than conventional harvesters (approx. 9,000 kilograms), it reduces soil compaction, ploughing effort, and land preparation costs for farmers. * The machine is equipped with a crawler for easier operation on wet fields and features ergonomic design for simpler handling and extended work hours. * Nikhil Nanda, Chairman & Managing Director, emphasized that the new harvester reflects the company's commitment to innovations that transform farmers' lives, offering profit potential and aiding in air pollution reduction. * Akira Kato, Deputy Managing Director, noted that the launch aligns with the company's vision to introduce game-changing innovations that enhance Indian agriculture's productivity, profitability, and sustainability goals. * Rajan Chugh, Chief Officer, Agri Solutions Business Division, stated that the PRO588i-G significantly advances harvesting technology and will strengthen Escorts Kubota's leadership in paddy crop applications.
