The main purpose of this paper is to analyze emerging technologies in agricultural engineering and its import on agricultural production. There has been series of changes in agricultural technology. Agricultural engineering has been reputed to be a veritable tool for ensuring food security globally and it is now recognized in the global front. Efforts to make it more acceptable has resulted in the development of various technologies aimed at improving agricultural production. This study analyzed the emerging technologies in agricultural engineering and gave a thorough review of how it has brought about improvement in agricultural production generally. The study relied on relevant literature as it relates to agricultural engineering to lend support to the topic under consideration. It concludes and recommends that these technologies should be replicated across board especially in African countries where food insecurity and malnutrition is still prevalent
