AGCO Realigns, Expands in Africa

Beginning in 2017, AGCO will restructure its Asia Pacific region to include Africa, a move intended to increase its on-the-ground presence in Africa.

“With this new move, the realigned Asia Pacific and Africa (APA) region will be strongly positioned to leverage the synergies of similar market dynamics in the two territories,” said Gary Collar, newly-appointed AGCO senior vice president and general manager, APA. “Among these key synergies are the emergence of a growing small-holder farmer segment, product and application similarities, shared consumer finance patterns and growing trade between the two regions.”
