Brussels/Hannover, 8 October 2020 – The European market for grassland equipment showed a significant decrease in sales units in the season 2019-2020 related to the previous season 2018-2019. Volume was below season 2017/2018 as well. While the expectations were for a balanced market, weather conditions in some regions, uncertainty about developments in specific markets and the worldmarket for dairy products had an negative impact on the total number of units for the individual segments of loader wagons, mowers, rakes and tedders.
