In view of the current global economic climate and the many uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisers of SIMA have taken the decision to postpone next year’s event until Nov 2022. Charlotte Cunningham reports.

Despite receiving the confirmation and support of many leading and loyal exhibitors together with all its partners for the edition rescheduled in early 2021, the organisers of SIMA announced this week that it could not be held with full peace of mind in Feb 2021.

Following consultations with a large number of exhibitors and agricultural machinery market figures, whose production and distribution cycles have been hit particularly hard by today’s public health and economic crisis, the team said the decision to postpone the exhibition to Nov 2022 appeared unavoidable.

The proposed new date for SIMA 2022 is 6-10 Nov 2022.
