Czech agro-industry compares favourably with the world's best

The quality of Czech agricultural machinery and equipment is also proved by international trade which is picking up again following the years of crisis between 2009 and 2010, when it dropped by ca. 30 % compared to the previous period. In 2011, the foreign trade revived and this trend has continued in the following years.

In 2014, Czech firms produced 2,453 tractors, the production over the past 5 years has been on a slight rise

Following the critical years of 2009 and 2010, the funds invested in the purchase of agricultural machinery have been slightly rising again. This is documented by the Czech tractor manufacture sales figures: 1,721 pcs were produced in 2009 and in 2014 it was as much as 2,453 pcs. A similar number is expected this year.

The number of visitors surpassed all expectations and soared up to 120 thousand people over five days.

An absolute record was recorded on Sunday, 30th March, when the exhibition centre gates were crossed by as much as 38,034 visitors making it the highest number in all trade fairs organised in Brno over the past 10 years. Just during the first day, the number of arriving visitors was higher than during the entire first edition of the fair back in 1994. „This year’s Techagro has definitively confirmed its supra-regional Central European importance, being one of the three leading agrarian technology fairs in Europe,“ said Managing Director of BVV Trade Fairs Brno, Jiří Kuliš.
