Keeping ahead

Grape and olive farmers will be interested to hear that French company PELLENC is setting up shop here from the 1st of May. The company designs and sells machines to work in vineyards and orchards (grape harvesters, trimmers, pruning shears and so on). Interested parties can view what is on offer here.

Grapes, olives and wine are amongst the nearly 180 chapters of The Agri Handbook.

In the space of being squeezed between input and labour costs and what they get for their produce, farmers are interested in new technology, machinery ... anything which gets the job done, which saves costs and makes farming more profitable. Farmers keep their eyes on the market floor, agricultural magazines and events like Nampo. The latter will be taking place from 13 - 16 May this year. See you there!
