Digital System and technologies for Agricultural Machinery and Farming
Press release

The 2025 Indian agro-mechanical exhibition sponsored by FederUnacoma and FICCI will be held once again this year in New Delhi, from 27 to 29 November. The exhibition will also be an important event for Italy-India relations, recently the subject of an International Forum. The sector market in India reported a setback in 2024, but is seeing significant numbers already in the first quarter of the present year.

The main types of machinery for vineyard work are on display at Vinitaly. They include new generation vehicles and specialized robots to ensure high-quality wine production.

The eighth annual exhibition dedicated to machinery and technologies for the agricultural economies of the region was presented this morning at Agriumbria. The focus was on internationalization, robotics and sector policies.

The annual FederUnacoma Think Tank has wrapped up in Bevagna di Perugia, having outlined the economic and geopolitical scenario in which agricultural machinery companies find themselves operating today. Issues at the forefront of the discussion include the risk of duties and the diversification of export markets for Italian companies, as well as the new consumer trends that will have an effect on the agro-industrial supply chain.

After two consecutive years in the red, the sales of green machinery and technologies in 2024 returned into the black (+1.5%), with more than 1.37 million units sold. The increase was seen across all the main product types: from hedge trimmers to lawnmowers, brush cutters and blowers. Chainsaws and snowplows on the other hand saw a drop in sales.

Latest generation agricultural technologies are strategic to counteracting the effects of climate change in the Mediterranean region. The need to fill the mechanization gap or to overhaul an obsolete vehicle fleet is driving the demand for machinery. Investments in the Mediterranean basin will pick up again in the three-year period 2026-2028.

The eighth Agrilevante the international exhibition of innovative mechanics and agriculture is being held at the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute (CIHEAM) in Bari. The organizational machine was running at full speed, with 75% of the total available surface area already allocated. New generation technologies for typical Mediterranean products, with operators and delegations from 40 countries expected. The Levante Green showcase for green care, and the meeting of the Club of Bologna are featured at this year's event states Simona Rapastella, General Manger of FederUnacoma.

The end-of-year results show a significant decrease in sales for all main types of machines. The drop is due to an increase in production costs combined with the difficulty of access to credit by buyers. The negative trend is also being seen in Europe and North America.
