First Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Russia Dzhambulat Khatuov, heads of departments of the Ministry, representatives of delegations from the regions of the Siberian Federal District, accompanied by Governor of the Omsk Region Viktor Nazarov, inspected the exhibits of the traditional AgroOmsk-2017 exhibition and fair.
The specialists' attention was attracted by the capabilities of Omsk enterprises producing modern agricultural machinery, which is able to replace foreign analogues in quality, but differs favorably in price. The new seeder of the Omsk Experimental Plant was evaluated in the regions of Russia and neighboring regions. Self-propelled sprayers from Omsk have a great future for cultivating crops and obtaining high yields. The Omsk enterprise Saturn Agro produces a grain cleaner, which is also in demand by farmers.
The Omsk region is almost completely provided with its own food, and the guests were attracted by pavilions with a variety of agricultural products: cheeses, sausages, dairy products, vegetable oil, honey, fish farming products and much more. The Omsk region has a well-developed scientific base, and our breeders have a lot to learn. The famous "hard" wheat Omskaya-36 improves baking qualities. It was appreciated in China and has been actively purchased for the preparation of "Chinese noodles" since this year. In the "living corner" of AGROOMSK, various types of farm animals and birds were presented: from nutria and rabbits to deer, cows and horses, from ornamental chickens to turkeys.
Visitors to the Omsk exhibition stopped near the most striking expositions, were interested in new technologies and achievements, and delved into the specifics of investment projects.
"On behalf of the Russian Government, the ministry is monitoring agricultural reserves in the country's regions. Today we gathered in Omsk to discuss how to develop agriculture in Siberia. We are especially interested in dairy farming. At the exhibition and during our trip to the region, we got acquainted with the implementation of four investment projects in animal husbandry, and more than a dozen such projects are implemented annually in the region. The government of the Omsk region is on the right track in the development of the industry, and we will help them in this," Dzhambulat Khatuov shared his first impressions of what he saw.
It should be noted that the AgroOmsk fair is being held in the region for the fifteenth time. But this year, which has been declared the Year of Animal Husbandry in the Omsk region, the main focus is on animal husbandry.
About 400 enterprises and organizations participated in the exhibition. AgroOmsk was visited by delegations from 12 regions of Russia: Tyumen, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo regions, Altai, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Republics of Buryatia, Khakassia and others.
In the first two days, the sites are open for specialists, and from July 19 to July 23 - for all categories of the population: July 19-22 from 10:00 to 19:00, July 23 from 10:00 to 17:00.
