Representatives of tractor industry from Pakistan are getting large orders at Agri-technika International Exhibition 2011, the world’s largest agricultural machinery and technology fair at Hannover, Germany.
Statement issued by Engineering Development Board (EDB) said the Agri-technika International Exhibition 2011 will last for a week till 20th November in which two tractor venders out of a total of seventeen are also displaying their products at the stand of the Dutch “Centre for Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries” (CBI).
Organiser of Agri-technika has designed one-hour forums for broad range of other organisations to bring participants fully up-to-date on specific topics and to promote a dialogue that increases overall understanding of the subject.
This year forum subjects are smart farming, machinery and farm management, and forest machinery and energy crop cultivation. A total of 18 forums are going to take place.
Smart farming forums, which all take place in Hall 16, alongside the special smart farming show, will explore topics as diverse as controlled-traffic farming; what N-sensors can do; use of EGNOS and Galileo for precision farming; and social media’s role in agriculture.
Machinery and farm management forum topics include market trends in the fertiliser market; how to find and keep good staff; using the money markets to tackle exchange rate volatility; and successful direct drilling in Argentina and Russia – a session that is hosted jointly by DLG and the club of European Arable Farmers.
Forums on forest machinery and energy crop cultivation address a range of topics relevant to these sectors including organising logistic chains the use of bio digester residues as fertiliser. Other sessions include how woodland visitors should protect themselves from health hazards and the importance of compacting and storing biomass silage properly. Pakistani participants at Agri-technika recommended that Pakistani agriculturists, agricultural professionals, universities as well as machinery manufacturers should attend Agri-technika in large numbers. They could benefit from knowledge and experience, as well as from the growth opportunities it provides for Pakistan’s agro machinery exports and the insights which can be gained for value added agriculture.
An important part of this mission is the special shows and forums that are carefully selected to reflect trends taking place in the Agro-machinery market throughout the world. To make the forums accessible to a global audience, a number of the sessions provide simultaneous translation from German into English to open them up to international participation.
The exhibition will last for a week. It promised to be a paradigm of showcasing future technology of agriculture in 27 Halls. At the heart of Agri-technica is the tradition of giving visitors the opportunity to benefit from global knowledge and perspectives on a wide range of topics related to agriculture and related industries.
