Turning now to 2019 and the years ahead, we have many challenges for the industry. Engine exhaust emission rules (Stage V) are to be implemented. With this step, EU environ-mental requirements for agricultural machines become the strictest in the world and make new European equipment the cleanest available on the global market. Yet, it is too soon to assess the uptake by our customers in the European Union, as farmers around the globe do not face the same constraints.

Within the EU arena, 2019 also leads to very exciting times. The uncertainty to reach a Brexit deal has already marked the first half of the year. Members of the outgoing European Parliament managed to go as far as possible on the new Common Agricultural Policy and the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme, but final negotiations remain to be concluded. A vast majority of Member States agreed on a landmark Joint Declaration on a smart and sustainable digital future for European agriculture and rural areas, but good resolutions must now translate into concrete actions.

Following the 2019 European Elections, we must rapidly have renewed European Institutions that continue to address the many challenges the European Union faces with as little disruption as possible. A reinforced CEMA secretariat stands ready to raise constructive but necessary asks to the European Institutions. We call on EU policy-makers to deliver a balanced regulatory framework supported by appropriate uptake incentives, enabling the best adapted technology solutions to respond to farmers’ needs all over Europe. With new opportunities arising such as agricultural data-sharing or artificial intelligence, the Agricultural Machinery Industry’s knowledge and expertise must help shape sustainable farming for the benefit of our citizens and society.

Yours faithfully,

Dear CEMA friends,

The European Agricultural Machinery Industry drives innovation and encourages technology uptake in one of the most ancient, diverse and core businesses of Europe: Farming.

Having a plate of food is an obvious “gift” for all of us, but very often we tend to forget what lies behind it. European farmers from farms of all sizes make great efforts to produce high-quality products, in a sustainable manner at affordable prices. However, challenges in agriculture are immense: climate constrains, prices volatility or aging of rural areas range among them.

The European Agricultural Machinery Association (CEMA) is committed to providing the best adapted technology solutions that respond to farmers’ needs and help them in tackling those challenges. CEMA represents an industry with 7,000 companies spread all over Europe, from numerous SMEs to multinationals, and 150,000 direct employees. We produce a variety of 450 types of machines that cover any field activity from seeding to harvesting and livestock equipment, helping customers in getting the most out of their land, protecting the environment while bringing economic benefits.

This report will help you better understand the size and diversity of advanced agricultural machinery and solutions in Europe.

However, for this industry to keep its level of innovation and competitive leadership in global markets, a balanced regulatory framework is crucial. The size of the sector compared to other “vehicles” productions in Europe and the great number of specialized machines produced in small volumes require tailor-made legislation to support competitiveness in the years to come. Our updated AgriTech 2030 plan for Europe’s Agricultural Machinery Industry, outlined in the next two pages, maps out what is needed for the next decade.

Looking back, 2018 business had its ups and downs but kept relatively positive throughout the year. Marked by the entry into force of the “Mother” Regulation, CEMA manufacturers worked hard to get ready to comply with new safety and functional rules.

FARMING 4.0

AgriTech 2030 maps out the future of Europe’s industry for advanced agricultural machinery and solutions towards 2030. It is consistent with CEMA’s mission to bring shared expertise and shape EU legislation for the benefit of sustainable farming and the agricultural machinery and solutions sector.

AgriTech 2030 recognizes that: AgriTech 2030 articulates a forward-looking EU policy agenda to stimulate innovation, jobs, safety standards and growth in farming and in the agricultural machinery industry and help to adapt to challenges such as structural change in agriculture, digitization and globalization.

To implement AgriTech 2030, CEMA works closely with the European Institutions, farmers, agricultural contractors and other partner organisations.

Maximizing the Industry’s Contribution to Highly Productive, Competitive, Sustainable Farming Methods with High Safety Standards

The EU must recognize the intrinsic link between the farm machinery industry and agriculture in all relevant strategies, policies and product legislation.

An ambitious, coherent, forward-looking EU regulatory agenda for the farm machinery industry is critical. EU industrial, digital, environmental and agricultural policies must be aligned to provide a supportive framework.

EU legislation must be appropriate and proportionate to the machinery usage and operation, with impact assessments. A “copy-paste” from the automobile sector adds significant costs for little or no added value. The diversity of crops and practices requires a diversity of specialty equipment produced in small numbers.

The EU should put a greater focus on self-regulatory mechanisms, including testing and leaner certification systems, to avoid burdensome authorisation procedures that are too complex and too costly for small product series and for the many SMEs active in the industry.

“Data-sharing and data flows will mark the EU industrial agenda 2019 – 2024 and beyond. Manufacturing processes, jobs and services are evolving as well as our customers’ demands.

To provide the best products and solutions, keep innovation levels and global leadership, we call on the EU to put industry at the core of its strategic vision and support the Industry4Europe initiative.”

Markus BaldingerCEMA Technical Board Chair

In the run-up to 2030, agriculture faces a formidable challenge: to produce more food, feed, fibre and alternative advanced fuels for a growing world-population from fewer resources in a sustainable manner at affordable prices. Advanced agricultural machinery and solutions play a central role in meeting this challenge. In light of this:

AgriTech 2030

AgriTech 2030 focuses on three key areas of work:

1.

CEMA’s Plan for Europe’s Agricultural Machinery Industry

Advanced technology solutions are critical for the future success, sustainability and competitiveness of EU farmers and the optimization of farm management.

Europe has the industrial leadership in this sector, being the world’s largest producer of farm equipment and the acknowledged global leader in innovation.

The economic footprint of the industry is highly significant, being the largest agricultural input industry and representing more than 300,000 jobs (including distribution and maintenance) most of which in scarcely populated rural areas.

Page 5: European Agricultural Machinery Industry · farm machinery industry and agriculture in all relevant strategies, policies and product legislation. An ambitious, coherent, forward-looking

FARMING 4.0

Promoting export of high-quality, high-technology, environmentally respectful European farm vehicles to increase share of third markets with high growth potential.

Accelerating the mechanization of Agriculture across the world through sustainable incentives and capacity building, with a special focus on developing countries.

“CEMA members have been at the forefront of the precision & digital farming revolution, with solutions to respond to farmers needs all over Europe. We call on the EU institutions to enable the uptake of advanced technologies, by all farms, in order to widely spread sustainable farming practices; to live up to the commitments set in the 2019 Joint Declaration on a smart digital future for European agriculture and rural areas; and to deliver on the €10 billion for research and innovation projects, to be implemented by the future Horizon Europe programme, for food, agriculture, rural development and the bio-economy.”

Gilles DryancourCEMA Strategic Committee Chair

“Modern agricultural machines are the way to go for a more sustainable, efficient and environment-friendly farming sector in Europe and globally. Moreover, keeping lively rural areas and competitive farming businesses in the EU will be crucial to ensure there is enough food for EU citizens. The EU must support all segments of the agri-food chain – including machinery and solutions - for today’s challenges and for the next generations.”

Ignacio RuizCEMA Economic Experts Group Chair

Bringing European Farming to the Forefront of Digital and Precision Agriculture

Providing EU research funding in the most promising technology areas, notably automation, robotization, digital connectivity and artificial intelligence.

Supporting machine developments which promote process-efficiency and CO2 reductions in agricultural output.

Delivering high standards of safety, contributing through innovation and fleet renewal to reach industry’s pledge to cut on-road fatalities with farm machines in Europe by 50% by 2035.

Raising the attractiveness of the agricultural and industrial sectors, including through better EU citizens’ awareness.

Precision Farming and Digital Agriculture are revolutions in the making and drive productivity, waste reduction and pro-active environmental protection. Their impact on the ground can be substantial, through savings on inputs such as water, fertilizers and pesticides, reducing farm-related CO2 emissions and soil compaction, and optimising yields and quality in agricultural production. Benefits are definable from all types of farm, from large to small. They significantly contribute to the attrac-tiveness of the sector for younger generations of farmers.

Uptake of these technologies is currently dramatically lagging behind the pace of digital technology uptake in other sectors, due to agricultural product margin constraints and associated investment capability.

CEMA sees a strong role for EU and national policy-making to mainstream Precision Farming and ensure a speedy digital transformation in European agriculture, to enhance the technology leadership of EU farm machinery industry, by:

World-class innovation is at the heart of Europe’s agricultural machinery industry and the global competitiveness of European agriculture. Future EU policies must encourage this industry’s global leadership in production and innovation, rather than obstruct it with inappropriate over-regulation, and acknowledge its major contribution to society, by:

Increasing use-related EU research funding (through large-scale pilots and digital testbed projects) in order to pave the way for a successful and rapid uptake of digital technology in farming.

Improving digital skills for current and future farmers and their advisors.

Strengthening investment in rural broadband across the entire EU to establish a robust digital infrastructure for this farming revolution.

Providing via CAP after 2020 direct support measures for the investment in green, digital and precision technology as well as knowledge sharing.
