1.
Land Tenure System: The type of land tenure especially communal land
tenure system does not allow for large farm holding suitable for
mechanization.
2. Scattered Land Holding: Scattered farm holding or farms not located in the same place is not conducive or economical for mechanization especially in West Africa.
3. Poverty: Most o the farmers especially in West Africa are very poor and cannot afford the cost of tractor and farm implements.
4. Inadequate Machinery/Facilities: The facilities or machinery to fabricate and repair farm implements are grossly inadequate
5. Topography: Topography of most West Africa countries is bad and not conducive for farm mechanization.
6. Varied Soil Types: Soil types vary and the machines used on a type of soil may not be fit for another. For instance, Nigeria depends on imported machinery most of which are not suitable to cultivate our land
7. Inadequate Spare Parts: Spare parts of these machines are still being imported therefore they are not readily available
8. Inadequate Technical Manpower: Available technical manpower to operate or service is not adequate
9. Problem of stumps and logs: During clearing, heavy stumps and logs are usually left behind and they constitute additional problem in mechanization.
