SIMA 2024 was canceled primarily due to ongoing economic and industry pressures affecting European agriculture. The event's organizer, ExpoSima, announced the decision amidst a challenging agricultural landscape marked by price volatility, increased energy and raw material costs, and the overall economic impacts stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. These factors have contributed to a notable market downturn for agricultural equipment, particularly in France, where farming pressures are especially acute.
Since its creation, the show has aimed to be the showcase for the latest technological innovations within the agricultural world. In 97 years, SIMA has rewarded more than 1,200 innovations through the SIMA Innovations Awards.
