Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery

NACE v2.0 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 agricultural and forestry activities. The machinery produced within this industry contributes to increased efficiency, productivity, and sustainability across these vital economic sectors.

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 manufacturing methods, such as additive manufacturing and robotic automation, are also increasingly being adopted to improve quality, precision, and throughput.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery include ferrous and non-ferrous metals, such as steel and aluminum, as well as a range of electronic components, hydraulic systems, and other specialized parts and accessories. Manufacturers also rely on a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, to design, assemble, and maintain the machinery.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 28.3 are a diverse range of agricultural and forestry machinery, including tractors, harvesters, mowers, plows, sprayers, and logging equipment. These products are then consumed by industries such as 01.1 Crop and animal production, 02.1 Silviculture and other forestry activities, and 10.9 Manufacture of prepared animal feeds, among others, to support their core operations.
