Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery

NACE v2.1 Code: C28.30

About manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery

NACE code 28.30 covers the manufacture of a wide range of machinery used in agriculture and forestry. This industry plays a vital role in supporting the primary production sectors that are essential for food security and the supply of renewable raw materials. The machinery produced under this classification is crucial for improving the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of farming and forestry operations across the globe.

Production process

The manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery involves various production techniques, including metal fabrication, welding, machining, and assembly. Manufacturers often utilize computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies to streamline the design and production processes. Advanced automation and robotics are also commonly employed to enhance productivity and precision.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery include ferrous and non-ferrous metals, such as steel, aluminum, and cast iron, as well as a range of electronic components, hydraulic systems, and other specialized parts. Manufacturers also rely on a skilled workforce with expertise in engineering, mechanics, and production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 28.30 are a diverse range of machinery and equipment used in agriculture and forestry, including tractors, harvesters, plows, sprayers, and forestry equipment like chainsaws and skidders. These products are then consumed by industries classified under 01.11 (Growing of cereals (except rice), leguminous crops and oil seeds), 02.10 Silviculture and other forestry activities, and other related NACE codes within the primary production sectors.

Revisions to 28.30
