27 Equipment average age Agriculture machinery and implements modernization prevented the waste of nearly 18 million tons of grains in the last four years, which is equivalent to 5% of the Brazilian annual production in the period. The significant increase of production, as well as of the domestic sales of machinery and equipment, was leverage by the increase in production, on the revenues and exports, and due to the Moderfrota (financing system). The average age of tractors is around 5.2 years and harvesters 7.7 years, considering a lifetime from 10 to 15 years. The power of the tractors sold in the Brazilian market grew, reflecting the investment made in technology and the increase in direct planting areas. Agricultural Machinery and Implements from Brazil

39 Agricultural Machinery and Implements CONCLUSIONS from Brazil We believe that Agriculture should be seen not only as a source of food and raw materials for industry, but also as a source of clean energy. We believe (and practice) in a sustainable agriculture, food safety and environmental protection We believe that demand for a better quality food will grow consistently. We believe that in the development of new machinery it is essential to consider 3 key elements: the operator, the land and the environment, all combined in harmony. We believe that both the design and performance of agricultural machinery should be adapted to the different kinds of soils, topography (terrains), climates and operators; safety regulations and certification are also very important.

40 Agricultural Machinery and Implements from Brazil CONCLUSIONS We believe in a continuous technological progress considering also social, cultural, economical and human factors. We believe that problems are becoming more and more universal and should be treated jointly. We believe in cooperation between nations, companies and people, therefore we have developed a joint- venture program at Abimaq. Brazil is a race-melting pot with religious syncretism, open to new ideas and projects! ABIMAQ and its Chamber of Agricultural machinery and implements also are!
