About
Agrievolution is the global voice for agriculture equipment manufacturers representing about 63% of companies and 70% of agriculture equipment manufacturing worldwide.
Our Mission: Advocate for global mechanization for sustainable agriculture, raising awareness of the vital role that agriculture mechanization and its precision agriculture technologies play as our world strives for sustainable global food security.
Agrievolution is made up of national and world regional agriculture equipment associations sharing data, gathering information and aligning messaging to better serve our collective member companies and the industry. Non-equipment manufacturing stakeholder organizations share our vision and collaborate as Strategic Partners.
As of September 30, 2024, after more than a decade as a coalition, Agrievolution transitioned into a legal entity. This strengthens our position within the industry, allowing us to enter into contracts with like-minded stakeholders and to build our own resources.
