The equipment and technology highlighted at this global event reflects the increasing importance of farming efficiency for supplying the world with food and renewable energy and protecting environment and climate at the same time.

“English is the main language at Agritechnica and over 3,600 visitors at the last event were from North America which is an increase of more than 70 percent over the last four years. This shows that North American farming experts are prepared to come to Europe and find the right solutions wherever they are. The North American visitors come mainly from large-scale farming businesses, farm equipment dealerships, ag coops and custom harvesters,” reports Annette Reichhold, Marketing Manager of Agritechnica.
