Strategic Importance for International Exhibitors
Market Context: Russia imports approximately 30% of its fruits and vegetables, with China supplying over $1 billion worth of produce annually. Russia also relies heavily on imports for agricultural inputs, with 35% of fertilisers and plant protection products imported and up to 85% of greenhouse materials sourced from abroad.
Import Substitution Opportunity: The departure of many Western companies from the Russian market has created new market opportunities for suppliers from China and other countries. This has opened up significant potential for producers of agricultural machinery, seeds, fertilisers, and processing equipment to introduce their products to Russian buyers.
Government Support: The exhibition benefits from strong government backing, reflecting its strategic importance in achieving Russia’s food security goals and increasing agricultural exports. The event creates a direct dialogue platform between businesses and government representatives on industry challenges and solutions.
Business Programme
The exhibition features an extensive business programme including seminars, presentations of innovative technologies, training sessions, and engagement with young specialists. The programme facilitates professional dialogue between producers and processors of vegetable products, addressing key issues and shaping development mechanisms for the sector.
