Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery

NACE v2.0 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 sustainable management of natural resources. The machinery produced under this classification is crucial for improving agricultural and forestry productivity, efficiency, and environmental sustainability across the global economy.

Production process

The manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery involves various production techniques, including metal fabrication, welding, machining, and assembly. Manufacturers utilize advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems to optimize the design and production of these specialized machines. Automated processes, such as robotic welding and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, are commonly employed to ensure precision, consistency, and efficiency in the manufacturing workflow.

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 various electronic components, hydraulic systems, and precision engineered parts. Manufacturers also rely on a range of specialized tools, jigs, and production equipment to fabricate, assemble, and test the final products. Additionally, this industry requires a skilled workforce with expertise in mechanical engineering, industrial design, and production management.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 28.30 are a diverse range of agricultural and forestry machinery, including tractors, harvesters, plows, sprayers, and forestry equipment such as chainsaws and logging machinery. 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 01.61 Support activities for crop production, among others, to enhance their productivity and sustainability.

Revisions to 28.30
