Mu Rwanda, ubuhinzi bukiri umwuga ukomeye ariko unakora cyane. Abahinzi bagera ku miliyoni 3.5 bakora imirimo yose y’ubuhinzi bakoresheje intoki, amashoka n’imihoro. Nk’uko Ikigo cy’Igihugu cy’Ibipimo n’Ubushakashatsi (NISR) cyabitangaje mu 2022, 0.8% by’ubutaka bw’ubuhinzi bwakoreshwa imashini, mu gihe ibindi byose bikorwaho n’intoki. Ibi bituma imirimo iba igoye, itwara igihe kirekire, kandi umusaruro uguma ku rugero ruciriritse.
Icyakora, hari impinduka zigaragara. Guverinoma y’u Rwanda, ifatanyije n’abafatanyabikorwa b’iterambere, yatangije ku ya 6 Ukuboza 2024 PSTA 5 – gahunda ya gatanu y’imiyoborere y’ubuhinzi, igamije gushyiraho “Sisitemu z’Ibiribwa n’Ubuhinzi Birambye kandi Bihamye”. Umwe mu myanya y’ibanze y’iyi gahunda ni guhindura ubuhinzi hakoreshejwe imashini n’ikoranabuhanga.
Ubuhinzi bwa gakondo bukiri ku mashoka n’intoki buragoye: gutera imbuto, gukuramo ibihingwa bitari ngombwa, gusarura no gutwara umusaruro bisaba imbaraga nyinshi kandi bigatwara iminsi myinshi. Urugero, gutera hegitari imwe y’ubutaka bisaba abantu 5 mu minsi 4–6, mu gihe imashini itera imbuto neza ishobora kurangiza icyo gikorwa mu isaha imwe gusa, itanga imirongo y’imbuto imwe, intera ihwitse n’ubujyakuzimu bungana.
Mekanization y’ubuhinzi si gusa gukoresha imashini. Ni ikizere, icyubahiro n’ahazaza. Ni ukurekura abahinzi mu murimo uremereye, gufungura ubushobozi bwa buri hegitari, no gutuma ubuhinzi buba umwuga ukurura urubyiruko. Ni inzira yo gutuma ubutaka bukorera abaturage, aho kubukoresha nabi.
U Rwanda rufite amahirwe yo guhindura ubuhinzi mu buryo bugezweho. Tractors nto, imashini ziteye imbuto neza, mashini zisaruza, n’izindi zikora imirimo yose y’ubuhinzi zishobora kugera ku bahinzi bato, bikabafasha kugabanya umurimo, kongera umusaruro no gukora ubuhinzi bufite inyungu. Ubu buryo bushya butanga amahirwe ku bashoramari, abahinzi, n’abaturage bose.
Mu gihe igihugu cyateza imbere ikoranabuhanga, imikoranire y’abahinzi, n’imashini zikoresha ingufu zidahumanya, ubuhinzi buzahinduka umwuga w’icyubahiro, utekanye kandi wunguka. U Rwanda rushobora gutangira inkuru nshya y’ubuhinzi: ubudahangarwa, umusaruro ukabije, n’icyubahiro ku bahinzi bacyo.
