While the sales to EU member countries increased by HUF 196 million and the North American sales increased by HUF 145 million, the sales to non EU member and other countries also increased by HUF 563 million accordingly due mainly to the volume increase of components sold to Mexican and Romanian Newage and Turkish Delphi.

Agricultural and general machinery export sales increased by HUF 645 million or by 10.4%, to HUF 6,832 million from the nine months of last year. Sales growth to Europe countries was mainly related to the increased volumes of the corn head in Ukraine, while the North American sales dropped by HUF 465 million compared to the correspondent period of last year due to the lower sales level of track modules and front loaders. Domestic agricultural and general machinery sales decreased by 4.8%, to HUF 696 million compared to the same period of last year due primarily to the lower corn head sales in the nine months.
