From February 24 to February 25, the IV specialized agricultural exhibition of achievements of the agro-industrial complex - TatAgroExpo - was held on the territory of the Kazan Expo International Exhibition Center.
The organizers of the exhibition are the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Joint-Stock Company "Republican Agro-Industrial Center for Investments and Innovations".
The TatAgroExpo exhibition brought together all representatives of the agro-industrial complex of Russia for live communication, exchange of experience and demonstration of the achievements of enterprises. For two days, 215 companies from 33 regions and 5 countries of the world demonstrated their products, technologies and solutions for efficient farming and animal husbandry.
The exhibition was visited by President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, First Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Oksana Lut, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan - Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan Marat Zyabbarov. The delegation carefully studied the presented technologies and product samples, and also talked with representatives of the companies. Later, Rustam Nurgalievich spoke: “I wanted to thank the ministry, all the participants in the exhibition. Very informative, interesting, modern exhibition. Everything is very worthy!
This year, the geography of the exhibition guests has expanded, and the event has acquired an all-Russian scale. The exhibition was attended by 8 agro-industrial professionals from 708 regions of Russia and 40 countries of the world.
The exposition area also went beyond the traditionally occupied two pavilions of the Kazan Expo exhibition center: more than 25 thousand square meters were allocated for stands. A key place was occupied by agricultural machinery and equipment for various branches of the agro-industrial complex. Even before entering the complex, the guests of the exhibition could get acquainted with the line of tractors manufactured by TPK MTZ-Tatarstan LLC. Further, already under the roof of the expo center, countless new products from domestic and foreign brands were presented. Here one could find tillage equipment, seeders, sprayers, spreaders of mineral and organic fertilizers and much more.
Many new solutions were presented in other sections of the exhibition. For example, the Continental Group of Companies presented its own Digital Farm development, which has no analogues in Russia, which will allow farmers to manage the farm virtually from the smartphone screen. Of the current trends in the field of animal husbandry, hydraulic machines for processing cow hooves, a mattress system for cattle, devices for artificial insemination and much more were presented.
Market leaders in fertilizers, protection products, seeds and planting material also offered a wide range of their products with many new developments.
Branch scientific and educational institutions of the republic (KGAU, KGAVM, KSPEU TIPKA, KFU and KKI RUK) were represented by a separate single block "Science and Education". Here KSAU presented its own educational programs with a digital component and spoke about its unique project "Agrobiotechnopark". KGAVM shared scientific developments in the most topical areas of animal bioprotection and increasing the efficiency of dairy farming. Kazan Federal University spoke about the development of drugs that increase yields, work with probiotics, waste processing, including the composting method.
Traditionally, the exhibition was accompanied by an extensive business program, during which many acute issues of the industry were touched upon: the prospects for exporting products, digitalization of the agro-industrial complex, energy saving, research and development, personnel issues and others. Within the framework of the exhibition, 27 business events were held, which were held simultaneously in 6 halls.
This time the business events differed not only in the variety of important topics, but also in the formats. So, for the first time at the exhibition, part of the seminars were held in one of the exhibition halls of the Expocentre.
The central event of the first day of the exhibition was an expanded meeting of the collegium of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan, which discussed the current problems in the agriculture of the Republic and outlined the tasks for their solution.
The TatAgroExpo exhibition has become a platform for effective dialogue between agricultural producers, representatives of science, business and sectoral ministries and departments, exchange of best practices and professional development of agricultural specialists, negotiations with potential partners and presentation of new projects.
