Agricultural Engineering in Tropic and Transformation Countries Agricultural Engineering in Transformation Countries

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union lager areas of agricultural land were taken out of the agricultural use in the former Soviet states. A larger portion of this area was taken out des¬pite good agricultural conditions. The import ban on selected foods by the Russian government in 2014 caused among sup-plying countries in substantial decline in export to Russian. The market of agricultural machinery in the transformation countries was difficult for ma¬nu-factures of western countries. This is due to import restrictions, the reduction of subsidies for the agriculture and currency depreciations.
