The development trends of the fleet of tractors on the farms of Latvia

The article deals with the statistical indices which characterise the renewal rates of the tractor fleet in Latvia, changes in its structure, the quantity of tractors, and their energy intensity. Factors are shown that characterise different rates of the growth of the tractor fleet, the purchasing dynamics of new tractors which have the greatest specific weight among the purchased ones. There are perspectives of further formation of the fleet of tractors by reducing the quantity of tractors and increasing the number of energy intensive machines on the farms.
