This year's DSI survey was conducted in June and July 2018, rating the quality of the relationship between agricultural technology manufacturers and their A-dealers over 14 aspects, including brand image, sales support for tractors and spare parts, service support and warranty payouts. The companies were also asked to rate the dealer-to-supplier ratio, the development of the machine selection, financing and anti-theft protection.
The international distributors network, CLIMMAR, was founded in 1953. It currently includes 16 national associations and their member companies in agricultural engineering and equipment.
