The most notable technological advancement that has impacted agriculture is Mechanization. Gone are the days when crude farm implements like hoe, sickles and cutlasses will bring the proposed harvest envisioned by agricultural entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, they are still in use, and will continuously result in a low supply of farm products, poor efficiency and no sustenance of products. With mechanization in farming, there will be the use of advanced technological machines, tools and techniques in growing plants and animals, this will:
- Reduce the energy spent
- Save time
- Improve productivity
- Improve life span
- Bring about a regular supply of farm produce
- enhance economic growth

The use of tractors, boom sprayers, ploughing machines and pumps are mechanized tools that will help reshape the agricultural sector and help farmers. More notable areas are:
- Mobile phones, enabled by GPS: This has been a major improvement in monitoring activities. Agriculture is one sector that deals with multiple chains of distribution and labour. These devices enable supervisors to track the agricultural processes more accurately.
- Rice Transplanters: Just like in Japan, rice transplanters have been introduced for efficient rice seedling planting. It takes away the burden of manual labour in the planting process. With the use of remote control, the machine can be monitored without anyone actively driving it.
