TYM accelerates autonomous farming expansion. South Korean agricultural machinery manufacturer TYM is scaling production of AI-powered autonomous equipment to combat labor shortages and aging rural populations. The company plans to launch three new autonomous tractor models this year, building on its existing T130 tractor and RGO-690 rice transplanter, which achieved first national certifications in South Korea. Autonomous machines currently represent five percent of total revenue. The technology delivers significant operational improvements, increasing work accuracy by three times while reducing working time by 16.3 percent and improving fuel efficiency. TYM's financial performance reflects this strategic shift, with 2024 revenue reaching 940.2 billion won and operating profit surging 299 percent year-over-year.
