The relaunching of the "made in Italy" guiding theme of the public part, which saw the participation of the MEP Paolo De Castro, of the chief economist of Confindustria Andrea Montanino, of the general director of Ice Roberto Luongo, and of the managing director of GRS Ricerche Enrico Gallorini

The decline in exports for tractors leads to a decline in "made in Italy" production, while it grows with regard to other types of machines, including incomplete tractors and parts of tractors. Turnover is at 7.9 billion euros (+1.5%), to which we must add an amount for components estimated at 2.7 billion and for gardening estimated at 800 million, for a total of about 11.4 billion euros. The Italian market accounts for 18,442 tractors, less than half of the sales of used vehicles

A comparative survey was presented during the annual FederUnacoma assembly on the performances of the major agricultural machinery exhibitions at the international level. In comparison with the SIMA in Paris, the Bologna exhibition shows better indices on all the parameters considered. The segment of the so-called "apostles" (86.2%) is remarkably high as far as EIMA is concerned, that is to say those operators who are so convinced of the validity of the event that they are active supporters participating in the construction of the event's good reputation

Sixth rendezvous for the exhibition dedicated to agricultural machinery and equipment for the Indian sub-continent, organized by FederUnacoma and Ficci, and scheduled in New Delhi in the first week of December.

A large section dedicated to native livestock breeds and technologies for the management of stables and fodder characterizes the 2019 edition of the international exhibition that takes place in Bari from October 10 to 13. More than 500 heads of cattle, horses and sheep and goats are on display at the exhibition, as an example of the rich livestock biodiversity of Southern Italy

Decarbonizing the economy is a crucial step to combat climate change. Agriculture is the optimal context for putting into practice the principles of the circular economy, activating innovative crops and supply chains and minimizing the impact on the agro-ecosystems. Mechanization also plays an important role in this, and Agrilevante will be an opportunity to deal with the issue thoroughly

The provincial territory is characterized by productive excellence in the field of fish farming and logistics, but the mechanical industry as well can claim some important centers. Agricultural mechanics is represented by important companies working in different product segments, from tractors to components. Services and the transport system are competitive and a strategic connection with the University and the training centers has been developed. However, the problem of finding labor and professional figures persists

Green chemistry can provide more effective and sustainable solutions to the many problems affecting the agricultural sector. A survey conducted by the CREA Policies and Bio-economy Research Center examined research institutions, operators and administrations, in order to identify innovative techniques and technologies with a low environmental impact and to protect the agrosystems involved in fruit and vegetable industry. By focusing on combined actions, green chemistry (as opposed to chemical syntheses) aims at preventing rather than treating and curing. In this context, mechanization plays a relevant role

The use of biomethane can bring new opportunities for mechanized agriculture. To examine this issue in a perspective of supply-chain, the MiSE (Ministry of the Economic Development) established a technical work table with Italy's main stakeholders, among which FederUnacoma

The battery-operated machinery and equipment are increasingly in demand in gardening and green care. From lawnmowers to blowers, from chainsaws to brushcutters, the range of electrical machinery is increasingly wider and efficient, thanks to the use of technologies as the lithium ion which is much more performing than the systems used in the past. There are also considerable benefits in terms of user-friendliness, operator comfort and above all environmental impact. The hypothesis of introducing cobalt systems is debatable because they depend on a Congolese monopoly in the supply of the raw material and by a Chinese monopoly in its refining

The use of synthetic turf began in some American sports facilities in the 1960s. Since then, it has been used not only in sports facilities but in many other applications. There are different types of coverage and for each of them, special maintenance is provided. In many cases, synthetic turfs offer economic and functional benefits, while the hybrid covering, which combines synthetic material and natural grass, is particularly interesting also for professional sport playing fields

The exhaust pollutant emissions from endothermic diesel engines have a high environmental impact, however, the modern anti-pollution systems can narrow reduce it by over 90%
