EIMA International: a focus on Africa

EIMA International staged an event on the exposition's third day on the matter of developing agriculture in Africa in a conference entitled Mechanization of Family Farming: the Future of Africa with the delivery of a report on the primary sector on the continent accounting for no more than 3% of the tractors in use around the world. The main obstacles in the way of mechanization here, it was said, are the lack of distribution and assistance networks and under qualified professionals.
