Breeding seeders from the Omsk manufacturer impressed Uzbek scientists

From March 13 to March 15, the international agroindustrial exhibition AgroWorld Uzbekistan 2019 was held in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. Five Omsk enterprises engaged in agricultural activities took part in the exhibition.

It should be recalled that the Export Support Center organized the trip and participation of the Omsk business community in the exhibition. The Center promotes the expansion of foreign economic cooperation between small and medium-sized businesses in the Omsk region and is a division of the Agency for Development and Investment.

"AgroWorld Uzbekistan is the most important event in the agricultural sector of Uzbekistan. Industry experts consider the exhibition to be the main meeting place for farmers with global manufacturers and suppliers. The exhibition promotes the entry of foreign manufacturers into the new and rapidly developing market of Uzbekistan, and has a reputation for effective international business events. The Omsk region was adequately represented at the exhibition with a collective stand with a total area of 20 sq. m. The rental of exhibition space, registration fee, as well as the development of information and presentation materials for participating companies and their translation into foreign languages were provided by the Export Support Center," said Evgeny Kovtun, General Director of the Agency for Development and Investment.

As part of the business visit, Omsk entrepreneurs visited the Trade Representative Office of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Uzbekistan, where they talked about possible options for exporting agricultural machinery to the Republic. Businessmen learned about the specifics of importing products into the country, as well as what excise taxes exist on certain groups of goods.

Uzbek entrepreneurs were interested in samples of agricultural machinery, equipment, greenhouses, spare parts, as well as oilseeds and oil-containing products from the Omsk region.

The results of the work at the exhibition were not long in coming. Omsk Experimental Plant has received the first request for an export contract from the Tashkent Institute of Agriculture. In the near future, Omsk entrepreneurs will begin to supply breeding seeders to Uzbekistan.

"The Uzbek market is promising for our company. It was the first time we went to an exhibition in this country together with our dealer, the Basis company. This international agricultural forum was very diverse and interesting – aspects of technical support, fertilization technologies, greenhouse farming, irrigation were discussed, but the issue of mechanization was raised in each direction. Our products have aroused great interest among both small farms and large enterprises. Representatives of agricultural science showed particular interest. We have a unique offer in our arsenal – seed breeding equipment and equipment for scientists. The Omsk plant is the only one in Russia that produces a range of such equipment. It was she who became interested in the First Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shukhrat Teshayev during the official tour of the exposition. It is very gratifying that literally on the last day of the exhibition, the first application from the Tashkent Institute of Agriculture for the supply of breeding seeders has already arrived at the plant. This means that the exhibition was a success and we are getting the necessary effect for the further development of the company's foreign economic activity. It is worth noting the high level of organizational work of the Export Support Center and the advantageous location of the region's stand, which was located at the main entrance to the pavilion and provided Omsk manufacturers with high traffic attendance and interest from guests and participants of the exhibition," said Dmitry Golovanov, Director of the Omsk Experimental Plant.

It should be noted that upon return, the Export Center will continue to interact with the participants of the exhibition and will provide support in conducting further negotiations to conclude export contracts.

The Center provides free support to representatives of medium and small businesses in the region. We invite entrepreneurs to consultations and training seminars. The export support Center is located at: ul. 70 let Oktyabrya, 25/2, phone +7(3812)40-88-77.
