The eight edition of EIMA Agrimach India the International Exhibition & Conference on Agri-Machinery & Equipment was held in Bengaluru, from 29 February to 3rd March, 2024. The exhibition was attended by 150 brands and 13,000 visitors.
The 2022 edition of EIMA international reached its highest ever result, with 327,100 visitors, of whom 57,300 from abroad. During the five days of the exhibition the number of visitors exceeded the record (317,000) set in the 2018 edition, before the crisis caused by the pandemic.

The seventh edition of the international exhibition of technology and machinery for agriculture ended in Bari with a record number of visitors (94.900, 4.050 from abroad); businesspeople from 60 countries; more than 50 conferences, 1,200 business meetings reserved to foreign delegations of the ICE Agency. Rendez-vous for the next edition in October 2025.
Registration data for the first nine months of the year show declines for all vehicle types. An increase in list prices along with a drop in agricultural incomes and the wait for new incentives are the causes behind the current downturn.
The Competition offers an opportunity to think about how to support research. Innovation should be considered a 'systemic' challenge involving industries, public bodies, professional organizations, education and training facilities. The agricultural machinery sector is one of the most active in the development of new technologies. Over 680 applications were received during the last five competition events, of these, 132 were awarded recognition for their 'Technical Innovation', and another 260 received 'Technical Honorable Mentions'.
The awards ceremony for the Technical Innovations competition for new models with high technological content took place this afternoon. A total of 68 awards were given out: 20 precisely for “Technical Innovation”, and 48 “Honorable Mentions”. The event is a preview of the 46th annual EIMA International event to be held in Bologna from 6 to 10 November. Innovation is the heartbeat of the Bologna event.
