An edition of FIMA always is a good starting point for each one of the years in that it celebrates , and 2012 is not an exception. In Saragossa expects an upper influx to the 200.000 visitors, anxious for knowing the last novelties in the market of agricultural and technical machinery auxiliary that expose the 1.152 display units inscribed.

The technical days, inseparable part of FIMA

One of the days of reference in FIMA, from does two editions, is the National Congress of Rural Development. In this occasion, and under the lemma 'Cooperate to compete', will carry out the days 15, 16 and 17. The lemma wants to call the attention and centre the reflection in the importance and the transcendence that has the cooperation in his more general approach and like fundamental tool to face up to the new challenges of competitiveness. If the cooperation is a desirable and recommended practice for any field and activity, is it more, if it fits, in relation with the rural development. The half rural, and the activities and services that said half situates, characterise by the difficulty to reach the levels of necessary critical mass to ensure reasonable conditions of feasibility and sustainability. The cooperation constitutes, therefore, a fundamental tool for the rural development with which add and integrate strengths and efforts that, of isolated form, hardly can translate in attainments, much less when it is precise to manage in stages strongly competitive. The congress puts the emphasis in the cooperation like key to face up to the new challenges of competitiveness: the territorial development, the chain and the alimentary market, the agricultural providers, the conflicts of the water or the investigation agroalimentaria.

The second day of fair, the Wednesday 15, also will celebrate the day 'MedWinds', organised by ANSEMAT and Fair of Saragossa. The agriculture is the main sector of the Mediterranean countries and is the origin of a big variety of products of quality that have crossed our borders from does centuries. The sustainable production of foods is a big challenge to half term and has to support his mechanisation, basic for the integration of innovation and technology in the agricultural exploitations at the same time that improves his profitability. The round table, under the title 'Demand and tendencies in the mechanisation of the Mediterranean area' will gather to representatives of marks of prime importance like AGCO, Claas, Kuhn, John Deere, Same-Deutz Fahr or New Holland, will come preceded by three reports to charge of Gilles Dryancour, president of CEMA and director of Institutional Relations of John Deere for EMEA (The world-wide monetary crisis: forecasts and potential impact in our sector); Gerd Wiesendorfer, manager of the Department of Analysis of Market and Statistical of Agricultural Machinery VDMA (current Forecasts of business and tendencies of market for the European agricultural machinery); and a last where will expose the PAC further of the year 2013.

Also the second day of FIMA, and organised by the Upper Polytechnical School of the University of Saragossa, celebrates the 'Technical Day on recognition of plántulas of bad grasses'. The bad grasses can ocasionar important economic losses in the agricultural exploitation. So that the distinct measures of control to employ (herbicides, works, prevention...) They increase his efficiency and economic and environingingmental profitability is necessary to know, the before possible, which is the causal agent of the problem that appears in a finca or crop. In this technical day pretend contribute the basic criteria for the identification of plántulas of bad grasses, of wide leaf and of narrow leaf that affect to the main crops of the half valley of the Ebro.

Do not are missing neither the biennial appointment of Saragossa X National Meeting of Operators of Cereals –also the day 15– the Day on Agricultural Biotechnology, organised by the Association ProBio; and the Assembly of Graziers of the Race gascona (AGGE).
