The 2013 Import and Export Market for Poultry-Keeping Machinery, Poultry Incubators, and Brooders in Italy

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on poultry-keeping machinery, poultry incubators, and brooders in Italy face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying poultry-keeping machinery, poultry incubators, and brooders to Italy? How important is Italy compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market?

With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for poultry-keeping machinery, poultry incubators, and brooders for those countries serving Italy via exports, or supplying from Italy via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Italy fits into the world market for imported and exported poultry-keeping machinery, poultry incubators, and brooders. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Italy in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country
