in Bologna from Tuesday, November 10, through Saturday, November 14, were presented during the FederUnacoma general assembly. Applications to participate have reached record levels, and the quality of the exhibits is very high. The Maserati Area is being utilized for the first time, expanding the boundaries of the exhibition grounds. More than 60,000 models of machinery and technologies are estimated to be on display. General Manager Simona Rapastella stated: “EIMA brings together much of the technical, economic, and relationship-building work carried out by the Federation, all aimed at fostering cooperation among countries.”

The resilience of the domestic market offsets the decline in exports, driving the production of the Italian agromachinery industry, which closes out 2025 with a total value of 14.3 billion euros (+2.1%). Looking at the various production sectors, growth is seen in components, spare parts, and tractor parts, as well as in gardening machinery and equipment; conversely, sales of tractors and other agricultural machinery are down. The decline in exports, due primarily to U.S. tariff policies, does not compromise the trade surplus.

Global tractor sales rose in the first four months of the year, reaching 512,000 units. The sector’s performance was driven by India, which continues to set record pace. Traditional markets showed mixed results: the U.S., Canada, and Brazil slowed, Europe held steady, and Turkey saw a sharp decline. A key factor is the stability of the agreement between the United States and Iran.

In the first quarter of the year, sales of tractors (+2.7%), combine harvesters (+65%) and telescopic handlers (+46%) rose, whilst sales of trailers fell slightly (-1.5%) and transporters declined (-11.8%). The outlook for the rest of the year is influenced by developments in the Middle East crisis. The role of public incentives. FederUnacoma: it is important to overcome uncertainties and ensure that support schemes are fully operational.

The global agricultural machinery exhibition is an opportunity to strengthen the partnership between Morocco and Italy, which is the second-largest supplier of agricultural machinery after Spain. The EIMA Green exhibition area a specialized show featuring green space maintenance solutions for professionals and hobbyists.

In 2025, Italy remains Turkey’s leading supplier in the agricultural machinery sector. Trade in the sector is also expected to grow in the three-year period 2027–2029. EIMA International serves as a platform for strengthening trade relations and Italian-Turkish cooperation. Over 2,300 visitors expected from Turkey. An official delegation of Turkish operators in Bologna is xexpected too; the visit organized by the ICE Agency.

2025 marks a return to growth for tractor sales, which have risen by around 22 percentage points compared with the previous twelve months. Regional demand for agricultural machinery is being driven by technologies for high-value-added crops. The EIMA International agricultural machinery exhibition is a platform of particular interest to operators in Puglia. More than 10,000 visitors are expected from the region.

The next edition of EIMA International was presented this afternoon in Zaragoza. Advanced technological solutions for every model of agriculture. Virtually the entire Bologna exhibition district is already booked. The conference programme also includes a Forum on the prospects of the EU–Mercosur trade agreements for the agriculture and agri-food sectors.

The 47th edition of EIMA was presented at Fieragricola in Verona. The agricultural machinery exhibition will take place in Bologna from 10 to 14 November 2026. Applications are increasing, new features planned for the layout of the outdoor demonstration areas. Some of the themes that will be addressed in the conference programme have already been defined – says Simona Rapastella – and these make the exhibition not only a business opportunity but also a venue for permanent training for professionals in agriculture and agromechanics.

The Italian market has turned positive driven mainly by public incentives, that are also expected to have a positive impact during the current year. However, purchases of second hand machinery remain too large, slowing down the renewal of the fleet. The domestic market accounts for 30% of the total sector’s turnover, while the largest share comes from exports. Tariffs, geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty are reducing Italian exports, which have fallen by an overall 4.8% and show a 34% deficit on the US market.

The 47th edition of the agricultural machinery exhibition, held at the Bologna Exhibition Centre from 10 to 14 November, gets off to a flying start. Requests for exhibition space already exceed the venue’s capacity. Technical and economic-political content – says Simona Rapastella – to “design” the new agriculture. Among the new features of this edition are the earlier opening on Tuesday and the closing on Saturday evening.

Geopolitical and economic variables are affecting the performance of the agromechanical sector, which closes 2025 with a decline in traditional markets. India’s growth continues, with sales exceeding one million units. The new scenarios for agriculture and agricultural machinery outlined by FederUnacoma President Mariateresa Maschio.

Tractor registrations rose to more than 17,500 units, up 13.7% compared to the previous year. Nearly all other machinery categories also recorded growth, marking a partial recovery from the negative trend of recent years. FederUnacoma representatives highlighted the driving role of public incentives and the importance of the financial measures already announced for the current year.
