• Rise in demand for machinery expected
Russia’s agricultural markets are set to show a rise in demand for agri-machinery this year – or next year at the latest. This trend was highlighted in a presentation by Vyacheslav Nungezer, Director of the Department of Scientific and Technical Policy and Education with the Russian Federation’s Ministry of Agriculture, during a recent AgroTech Russia exhibition’s council meeting. Russian agriculture is in urgent need of a technological overhaul. Last year in particular around 16,000 tractors were not in working order having reached the end of their working life. Financial dictates in 2009, the year of crisis, meant that it was not possible to purchase fitting replacements for this aging stock.
