What are the market participants saying?

A product manager from a European agricultural equipment manufacturing company explained that the agricultural equipment industry in Europe has constantly faced lower sales and has had to deal with a dramatically decreasing customer base, even in terms of total engine power sold. Trends in commodity prices is not the only factor responsible for the change in the agricultural equipment industry.

During primary research, the sales director of one of the agricultural equipment manufacturing companies in APEJ indicated that China and India are the major shareholders in the Asia Pacific agricultural equipment market owing to factors such as provision of favorable loans to farmers, recent changes in the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural equipment, demand for harvesting and tillage machinery, and decline in the tractor market over the past three months.

The Business Development Manager of an agricultural equipment manufacturing company in MEA said that the Middle East and Africa market is fast gaining traction in the global agricultural equipment market owing to the availability of farm land on lease by the government at low prices and also indicated that most of the market movement can be seen in the Eastern (Ethiopia) and southern parts.
