Genfitt's Knowledge Report 2024: Performance Trends In The Irish Agricultural Sector

Welcome to the 9th Edition of the Genfitt Knowledge Report, our annual survey capturing the trends and perspectives shaping the Irish Agricultural sector. I would like to extend my gratitude to our Genfitt Marketing team, our colleagues at Kramp, our partner Agriland, and especially the customers, farmers, and industry experts who contributed to this year’s report.

The 2024 edition is based on insights gathered from over 2,200 participants, including farmers, farm machinery dealers, agri merchants, and machinery manufacturers. These voices provide a valuable understanding of the current state of the sector and the evolving challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

While this year’s findings highlight some immediate concerns, such as fluctuating input costs and changing regulations, the resilience and adaptability of the farming community continue to shine through. We believe the data in this report offers not just an overview of the current climate but also a blueprint for navigating future developments with confidence.

We are proud to present this year’s report and hope it serves as a useful resource for everyone involved in Ireland’s agricultural industry. Despite the hurdles we face, we remain optimistic about the sector’s future, confident in its capacity to innovate and thrive.

Ronan Egan
Managing Director of Genfitt

In July 2023, Kramp re-entered the Irish market after an absence of 15 years through the acquisition of Genfitt. In 2024, we have been working hard to introduce the Kramp assortment and delivery service promise. To this end we were excited to launch our new Kramp Irish webshop where customers have access to over 315,000 products.

In 24 European markets, we have invested to become the essential partner in parts and service to Agricultural industries, and, in the coming years, we look forward to bringing the same value to the industry in Ireland, earning the right to be an essential partner.

We see the Genfitt Knowledge Report as a service to the Irish Agricultural industry, published annually in the Autumn, when our customers and their customers are planning for the coming year. I am therefore proud for Kramp to continue to produce this informative piece of research for a ninth year and I hope you find it of value.
