Despite the downward market trend, the company's global sales could increase by 5-10% (in euros), said the Director of Amazone exports in Russia and the CIS Victor Buksman (Viktor Buxmann).

Similar or even greater will be the increase in Russia, he says by June of farms and agricultural holdings contracted level techniques in sales just last year.

"Farmers and the heads of the machine and tractor stations around the world refrained from investments due to unfavorable producer prices and yields below average", — stated in the materials of the company with reference to the co-owners of Amazone, Christian and Justus to Drienov.

In 2016, Amazone has increased the turnover by just 1%, earning 406 million euros compared to 402 million euros in 2015, from the data statements of the company.

In the EU there was a sharp drop in demand – 3% -15% in terms of value, depending on the country. Its reduction was affected by the saturation of the market appliances, the weakening in grain prices and the lowest in many years, the price of milk. A small increase in turnover was possible due to export of: 80% of vehicles a manufacturer exports, 20% of sells in Germany.

In Russia, the company's turnover grew by more than 30%. Sales increases were also noted in Ukraine, Romania, Spain, Australia and the Baltic States.
