The Spanish Association of Manufacturers Exporters of Agricultural Equipment (AGRAGEX), took advantage of its participation in the fair of demonstrations of machinery and agricultural equipment, DEMOAGRO 2017 to value the export figures of the sector, during a meeting with the specialized press. The statistics report produced annually by this organization shows a growth of around 3% during the past year, reaching a total of € 2,101,665,042.68. These results, according to Jaime Hernani, president of AGRAGEX, "have been obtained with hardly any public support, since during the crisis the budgets for international promotion have been reduced by 80% and have not recovered". In that sense, Hernani urges the Administration to give greater support to the internationalization of events representative of the sector, as is the case of DEMOAGRO.

From 9th to 11th May, will take place in San Clemente (Cuenca) Demoagro, Demonstration of Agricultural Machinery in the field. More than 700 tractors, machines and implements will be concentrated in Finca "La Granja", to show dynamically the new technologies applied for the preparation and work in soil, planting, harvesting, crop protection and care, fertilizer and water supply, transport and handling.
