Examining the tractor data for individual regions, we can see that the decreases are higher than the national average in Emilia Romagna (-23.3%), Lazio (-20.2%), Sicily (-18.2%), and Veneto (-17.2%), whereas the declines are less pronounced in Lombardy (-9.8%) and Apulia (-3.2%) compared to the national average. The Federation of manufacturers once again points out how the decline in sales is linked to the increase in list prices, difficulties in accessing credit and low agricultural incomes.
Also holding back the market is the slowdown in the provision of new incentives (PNRR, Innovation Fund, Decree 5.0), which we hope will soon be fully operational. The news of imminent incentives – the Federation reminds us – always produces a slowdown in purchases, as entrepreneurs suspend investments while waiting for more favorable conditions. In light of this – concludes the Federation – it is necessary that the news of new incentives be followed by a rapid fine-tuning of the fund allocation systems, precisely to avoid distorting effects on the normal trend of the market.
