EIMA Agrimach India: seventh edition kicks off
The international exhibition of agricultural machinery, promoted by FICCI and FederUnacoma, opens tomorrow morning in Bangalore. Static exhibition and field trials for a three-day event that aims to strengthen Italian-Indian technical and commercial cooperation.
The seventh edition of EIMA Agrimach India, the international exhibition of machinery, equipment and components for agriculture, opens tomorrow morning at the University of Agricultural Sciences Campus in Bangalore. A solemn inauguration ceremony - starting at 11:00 with the participation of all the major authorities of both the Indian government and the state of Karnataka where the event takes place, as well as the organising bodies, i.e. the Indian Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry FICCI and the Italian Federation of Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers FederUnacoma - will open a three-day programme of promotional and informative activities. From Thursday 1 September to Saturday 3, the exhibition area will be open to the public, consisting of businesspeople, farmers and agri-mechanics technicians. It will offer a static display of models produced by more than one hundred manufacturers, and a series of field tests that will enable visitors to see the mechanical equipment at work and test its technical characteristics.
After six editions held in New Delhi - the organisers note - the EIMA Agrimach exhibition will be held for the first time in Bangalore, with an audience particularly interested in the technologies for fruit and vegetable production that constitute one of Karnataka's production excellences. The seventh edition was supposed to take place in December 2021 but had to be postponed to September this year due to the health emergency that effectively brought the entire exhibition calendar to a standstill, on the understanding that the event will return to its normal biennial schedule from December 2023.
EIMA Agrimach India - concluded the representatives of FICCI and FederUnacoma - intends to promote international cooperation in the field of agricultural machinery, and in particular industrial and commercial relations between Italy and the Subcontinent. Numerous Italian industries have already set up production facilities in India, bringing functional technologies to the specific needs of local agriculture.

Agricultural Mechanics: Cooperation Increasing between Morocco and Italy
The meeting entitled “Agrilevante: technologies and training for Mediterranean agriculture”, sponsored by ICE Casablanca in collaboration with FederUnacoma, took place in Meknès as part of the SIAM International Agricultural Fair. Morocco's agriculture has great potential, but - like other countries in the Mediterranean area - it has to deal with challenges related to climate change, lack of water resources and the availability of fertile lands. The Agrilevante expo is a platform for selecting technologies to enable a successful relaunch of agriculture, increase yields and reduce environmental impact.
Agricultural machinery: market still down in the first quarter of the year
All major vehicle types seeing drops in sales. Tractors fell by 7.3%, combine harvesters by 23.1%, trailers by 6.5%, and telescopic handlers by 7.9%. In contrast, transporters were up 36.9% compared to the first three months of 2024. The downturn in the domestic market and the drop in exports is causing a decline in the profits of sector industries, and is also putting investments in research and development at risk. The used vehicle market is still going up, significantly impaqcting for the worse the quality of technologies available to farms.
EIMA Agrimach returns to New Delhi
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.
