Tractors in Spain market is recovered "surprises" in 2007, according to Ansemat

Experts of the Commission of tractors of the National Association of agricultural machinery, forestry and green spaces (Ansemat) positively valued the tractors market data in 2007 while expected the Renove Plan grants. Positive data from this year show some recovery in an oscillating market, based mainly on the replacement, which does not spread easily of sporadic economic sector bonanzas, according to the Association.

For Ansemat, the Renove Plan, good harvests and the prices of certain products influence positively but not are crucial in the evolution to the rise in the market of tractors. Subsidies for new technologies have created much excitement in the first half of the year, but at the end of the year remains unknown how many tractors old and unsafe disappear from the field to make way for other more efficient and respectful with the environment.

On the other hand, the value of the cereal harvest has characterized the optimism of the sector before the first autumn sowings and thus it has noticed these past months, with an increase in the agricultural income close to 9.8 per cent, and even more in the branch of plant production (11.8). However, valuing the total entries in the Rome concludes that an increase of 2 percent over the same period of 2006 only reflects a slow recovery from the market.

Analyzing data from the 12-month rolling until November the figure of the market for tractors in 2007 is estimated could oscillate around 17,000 units, including the tractors. For 2008, in which high interest rates and the uncertain weather adversely affect the sector, wait the short help of the Renove Plan, points Ansemat.
