Agricultural machinery: record growth for the Italian market

The Italian agricultural machinery market is moving at record pace. In the first nine months of the year, tractor registrations - according to data processed by FederUnacoma on the basis of registrations provided by the Ministry of Transport  - grew by 43.8% compared to the same period of 2020, with 18,500 units sold; combine harvesters grew by 50.4% with 358 units; transporters grew by 18.9% with 497 units sold, trailers grew by 27.3% (7,459 units) and, finally, agricultural telehandlers, which with 1,156 vehicles sold in the nine months showed an increase of 78.4%. «Such significant growth percentages are due to a certain extent to the recovery from the crisis of the 'Covid' year 2020, but they depend above all on the success of the tax incentives for agricultural machinery 4.0, and the need for farms to upgrade their technological equipment to meet the new market challenges», explained FederUnacoma President Alessandro Malavolti.
