New project helps Case IH customers from Bosnia and Herzegovina to operate safely and sustainably

Orchard owners from #bosniaandherzegovina visit as part of Case IH’s Sustainable Development Initiative / All had purchased #caseih Quantum orchard tractors / Visit hosted with Motoremont, the new importer for #bosniaandherzegovina, plus training NGO Spektar.

Case IH has been running an innovative mechanisation and training initiative to support orchard farmers in #bosniaandherzegovina, as part of their Sustainable Development Initiative. The program included a visit by 10 participating customers to the #caseih European headquarters and state-of-the- art tractor plant at St. Valentin in Austria.

The Balkan country has 100,000ha of orchards but 90% of the agricultural equipment there is more than 20 years old. The project aims to help orchard owners enhance productivity, encourage greater ecological awareness, and create a healthier work environment. 

Initiated and sponsored by the Sustainability Team at CNH Industrial, it involved #caseih Eastern Europe/Balkans, Motoremont d.o.o in Gradiškathe newly appointed #caseih importer for #bosniaandherzegovina, together with Spektar, a Bosnian based non-profit organization. 

Operator health protected

All the guests purchased specialist #caseih Quantum 65 V tractors which incorporate a range of features that their old machines did not have, such as air conditioning and creeper transmissions. Popular with fruit and vineyard operations because of their compact dimensions, excellent manoeuvrability,  versatility  and  performance,  Quantum  models  are  modern,  efficient,  and  highly productive, so every task can be completed quickly, easily, and safely. A key feature is the comfortable, ergonomic, air-conditioned cab with carbon filtration to prevent the ingress of agricultural chemicals when spraying, helping to protect operator health.

Spektar provided agricultural chemical usage training for customers taking part in the project. It covered how to manage agricultural chemicals in a sustainable way, what the potential hazards for humans, animals, and the environment are, and how to reduce the risk of accidents. Spektar’s NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) status guaranteed high quality, independent advice on selecting a specific group of customers, while Motoremont provided additional information and aftersales support. 

Applying lessons on-farm

Farmer #dejanpopovic said: “We all found the training really informative, and for myself I am really looking forward to applying it with my tractor on my farm, as it not only fits my agronomical needs on my farm, but also supports health and sustainability”.

Daniela Ropolo, Head of Sustainable Development Initiatives at #cnhindustrial, stated: “CNH Industrial is continually searching for better solutions and breakthrough ideas to meet the enormous challenge of feeding and sheltering a growing global population. Part of our vision is to sustainably advance the essential role of agricultural workers throughout the world, so I am delighted with the success of this project, which resulted from the excellent cooperation between #cnhindustrial, #caseih, Motoremont and Spektar.”
