Individual farms and cooperatives bought HUF 226.5 billion worth of new agricultural machinery and equipment in the period January-September 2023, which was 16 percent less than the turnover of a year earlier. In the same period, HUF 67.5 billion were spent on parts, which is a 7 percent increase compared to the January-September 2022 period.
Agricultural producers spent 58 percent of the total value of their agricultural machinery investments in the first nine months of 2023, and 63 percent in the first half of 2023. Within the total sales, among the control machines, tractors represented 31 percent, and grain harvesters 15 percent.
