The main factors of the intensification are the comprehensive chemical treatment, the complex mechanization, the melioration, the technical drying and the breeding of new plant varieties and animal breeds. Agricultural and food machinery construction is creating the conditions for the complex mechanization of agriculture through development and production and the import of new, more productive machinery, equipment, equipment and facilities. The approx. 57,000 working people in the agricultural and food machinery construction companies Fortschritt, Weimar, Impulsa and Nagema as well as in the agrotechnic trading combine have made a significant contribution to the already high level of complex mechanization achieved by developing and producing or providing more effective means of mechanization for socialist agriculture of crop production and livestock farming.

With this new machine system, the potato harvest, including the separation of admixtures (stones and soil clots), will increase labor productivity by about 200 percent.
