Russian farmers are more inclined to invest in the renovation and maintenance of previously purchased equipment than to buy new or used equipment. This is demonstrated by the result of a study conducted jointly by AA-P (www.aa-p.ru) and Avito.ru. A clear commitment to increasing the service life of agricultural machinery is registered: owners have begun to treat it more carefully, therefore, the need for spare parts and timely service is increasing. According to Avito, this year the demand for spare parts has risen by an order of magnitude compared to last year, and the supply has increased by 87%. The top ten cities with the maximum increase in demand for spare parts for agricultural machinery included settlements from regions with the most dynamic agricultural sector.

According to analytics obtained from the Pole.Ru portal, there is an increase in the interest of farmers in spare parts for agricultural machinery this year by an order of magnitude. Consumers today give priority to the optimal and, in fact, reliable way to purchase spare parts on electronic platforms. Here it is immediately clear who is the manufacturer of spare parts, and at the same time full support is provided, from the selection of components to the dispatch of the purchase. In addition, the leasing of new agricultural machinery is relevant, the demand for it is increasing by an order of magnitude from year to year, especially taking into account state support.

According to analytics obtained from Avito, at the start of 2023, about 120000 offers for the sale of components for agricultural machinery in the Russian Federation were available on this online platform. Of this volume, more than 110000 ads concerned the sale of new spare parts. Since the beginning of last year, bodies, attachments, booths, platforms, as well as parts of hydraulic systems have been extremely popular parts throughout the Russian Federation. The manager of the Spare Parts profile on the Avito platform says that against the backdrop of the import substitution policy, the agricultural sector is showing active growth and is experiencing a growing need for high-quality machinery, specialists, components and equipment.

Prior to this, the messages noted a decrease in the volume of tractor supplies in the Russian Federation this year. According to statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture, during this year, Russian agricultural enterprises have reduced the level of purchases of basic types of agricultural machinery. Some believe that this trend will remain relevant in the future.
