Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery
NACE v2.1 Code: C28.3
About manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery
NACE code 28.3 covers the manufacture of a wide range of machinery used in agriculture and forestry. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting the primary sectors of the economy, providing essential equipment for food production, timber harvesting, and other land management activities. As technological advancements continue to transform the agricultural and forestry industries, the manufacturers within this NACE code are at the forefront of innovation, developing increasingly efficient and sustainable machinery to meet the evolving needs of their customers.
Production process
The manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery typically involves a combination of metalworking, assembly, and precision engineering techniques. Key production steps may include cutting, shaping, and welding metal components, as well as the integration of electronic systems, hydraulics, and other specialized subsystems. Manufacturers in this industry often utilize computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies to optimize their production processes and ensure the quality and reliability of their products.
Production inputs
The primary inputs required for the manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery include a variety of metal alloys, such as steel and aluminum, as well as electronic components, hydraulic systems, and other specialized parts and materials. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on advanced production equipment, including CNC machines, welding stations, and assembly lines. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, is a crucial input for this industry.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the agricultural and forestry machinery manufacturing industry (NACE 28.3) include a diverse range of equipment, such as tractors, harvesters, forestry machinery (e.g., 16.1 Sawmilling and planing of wood), and other specialized vehicles and tools. These products are primarily consumed by the 01.1 Growing of non-perennial crops, 01.2 Growing of perennial crops, 02.1 Silviculture and other forestry activities, and 02.2 Logging industries, as well as by individual farmers and forestry operators.
