1. Hungarian Agricultural Machinery Industry Pető - Pintér Safety first Roma Italy 2006

2. Hungary

3. Plant production in Hungary IntensiveExtensiveSustainable Good economical conditions Climate, good soil conditions and nutrient supply Rainfall, sunshine High costs High yields (7-10 t/ha) Good economical conditions Low costs Costs and energy saving operation Available, optimal yields (5-7 t/ha) Not so good economical conditions Minimal costs Minimal cultivation Industrial used wheat Minimal yields (3-4 t/ha)

4. Innovation in Hungary MGIManufacturers New products New technologies Goverment supply Development For ex.: Linamar Hungary- cornheads Optigép- Sunflower heads, hemp harvester Hevesgép- pick up header

5. Investment in agricultural machinery – nominal value (1991- 2005)

6. 48,5 % 44,3 % 28,5 % 25,9 % 24,5 % 36,7 % The participation of the Hungarian agromachine industry from the machine investments of the agriculture (1999-2004) Based on the number of the invested machines All machines Hungarian machines

7. The distribution of the Hungarian agromachine market production

11. The agricultural machine production can be competitive in the following product categories: Soil tillage machines Seeding machines Nutrient spreading machines Adapters of combines Cereal dryer and storing devices, complete forage mixing lines, storage yards Plant protecting machines Vegetable production machines Secondary products and biomass harvesting, utilization of renewable energies materials-handling, transporting and moving equipment

12. Conclusions The need of modernization product range Not so much communication between education and manufacturers Less practical education Few govermental supply More well-known and high level products, like: NAS sunflower heads, OROS cornheads
