Harvesting and processing machinery are specialized machines and equipment that handle everything from crop harvesting to primary processing. This includes combines, harvesters, threshing machines, sorting machines, washing machines, dryers, crushers, and juice extractors. In manufacturing, these machines are used for raw material preprocessing in food processing plants and post-harvest processing in agricultural facilities. Designed for crop quality preservation and efficient processing, the range spans from high-performance models with automation and control systems to general-purpose machines for small-scale farmers. These are clearly distinguished from cultivation machinery like rice transplanters and cultivators, and management equipment like sprayers, focusing exclusively on harvesting and processing operations.
