| The only way farms could survive was to scale-up and undergo mechanisation. |
| Thus, in the absence of locational subsidies, farmers in Kaédi must expect to pay higher rates for mechanisation services. |
| Despite the high degree of mechanisation, taking the right decisions inside the tunnel still depends on people. |
| However, mechanisation of farming must not entail risks for the environment. |
| The sector is not very competitive, since costs are high and there is little mechanisation. |
| The long-term picture is impressive in light of poor mechanisation levels in the country. |
