There was a full schedule of conferences and workshops promoted by Itabia, the association that coordinates the activities of the "Energy" exhibition.
Emilia Romagna: a tractor fleet that is vast but to be renewed
With 219 thousand machines operating in the Region on a national total of just over 2 million, Emilia Romagna is the Italian region with the largest tractor fleet. However, many vehicles are over 30 and even 40 years old and should be replaced with safer and more efficient tractors. The current renewal rates, which are already low, are likely to worsen if resources for the RDPs are reduced.
Unacma ROC, a network of certified workshops
At EIMA International, the European Network of Certified Workshops for agricultural machinery comes alive. The associations of contractors, farmers and manufacturers, will soon sign the memorandum of understanding to "certify" on the market the level of excellence and technical/operational capacity of the structures belonging to the Network.
The mother of all regulations to allow the circulation of tractors and trailers all over Europe
It was supposed to make the rules all over Europe uniform, but the obscure points on Community legislation for agricultural vehicles, known as "Mother Regulation", have forced the ministry to issue several clarification circulars. During a conference on the subject, organized by FederUnacoma as part of EIMA, the aspects that have caused perplexity between manufacturers and users have been addressed (and clarified).
EIMA: environment, the spending by Italian cities for public parks still too low
Cities are responsible for 70% of the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Plants can absorb 20 to 50 kilos of carbon dioxide in a year, making them a powerful ally against pollution, but the spending of municipalities for urban green areas is still too low, amounting to 60 cents per square metre. At the 43rd edition of EIMA, Asproflor, the association of flower growers takes stock of the situation.

"We greatly appreciated Minister Gian Marco Centinaio's visit to EIMA and we laid the foundations for a collaboration that we hope will bring good results for the agricultural machinery industry and for Italian agriculture".
Safety in the fields: 200 fatal accidents every year in Italy
Every year in Italy there are 200 fatal accidents among farmers, many of them caused by a tractor overturning. This tragedy could be significantly reduced, not only by relying on European and national incentives for the purchase of latest generation agricultural machinery equipped with the most advanced safety systems, but also by investing in training. The issue is at the centre of the awareness campaign launched by FederUnacoma at EIMA, the international exhibition of agricultural machinery.

Tractors: over 9 thousand thefts in Italy last year
The number of agricultural machinery thefts (which stood at 9,114 in 2017) decreases, but the value of the stolen vehicles increases. Puglia and Sicily are the regions most affected by this phenomenon, which, according to the Unacma association of retailers, is caused by criminal organizations that sell machines especially in the Balkan and Caucasian countries.
Water alarm: agriculture absorbs almost 70% of the world's resources
It is the most water-hungry production sector, with an average water withdrawal that is 69% of the world's total. But new technologies, including sensors, drones and satellites, can lead to a 30% water savings to cope with the increase in population. Today at EIMA, the international exhibition of agricultural machinery, water scarcity and the new smart irrigation systems are the focus of discussion between experts in the sector.
Tractors: world market in flux
Significant growth in the US and India, declines in the rest of the world. The agricultural machinery sector is evolving at varying speeds, while still reconfirming Italy's leadership as second world producer after Germany, with exports of just under € 5 billion in the first nine months of the year and total sales expected to reach € 11 billion. The numbers come from the 43rd edition of EIMA, the world exhibition of agricultural machinery held at BolognaFiere from tomorrow to November 11. Almost two thousand exhibitors, 600 of them from 49 foreign countries. Almost 300 thousand visitors expected.
Tractors: drop in world demand and "made in Italy" sales
The agricultural machinery market recorded a decline in some important countries in the first nine months of the year. As a result, Italian exports, which are traditionally strong in this machinery sector, have dropped. The decrease in demand is reflected in the production, which is expected to contract in terms of tractors and increase in terms of components.
EIMA: the guiding themes of the 2018 edition
The great agricultural machinery event offers news on the exhibition front, with the launch of two new thematic Exhibitions, as well as being characterized by some issues of social interest, in particular occupational safety and employment opportunities for young people.

Instead, the sales of used machines are growing, much more significant in numerical terms compared to new ones.
Italian production: tractors in declining, turnover overall stable
Demand in France and elsewhere in Europe are weighing on Made in Italy tractor exports expected to decline to a total of 11.9% by the end of the year. As a consequence, also national production is dropping. Turnover is stable in the gardening sector and components are showing sound 19% growth to offset the tread for tractors, other machinery and implements to lead to an outlook of production valued at € 11 billion by the close of the year, in line with the 2017 levels.
Tractor markets: uneven global scenario
Data on the sales of tractors covering the first nine months of the year pursued a positive trend in the United States and India and showed substantial downturns China and Europe. The decline in cereal grains and commodity prices of agricultural food crops weighed in on agricultural enterprises incomes while policy factors, especially custom duties, put the breaks on trade and thus on all the economies across the sector.
