From July 22 to 28, the annual Siberian Agrotechnical Exhibition-Fair AgroOmsk-2019 was held at the site of the park On Korolev, where more than 400 enterprises from 32 regions demonstrated the achievements of the agro-industrial complex.

"This year, more than 20 novelties of modern agro-industrial machinery and equipment are presented. More than 100 contracts for the supply of agricultural machinery, food and equipment were signed during the exhibition. More than 30 farms presented various areas of animal husbandry in the Omsk region: horse breeding, poultry farming, pig breeding and others. The fair was attended by farmers from all regions of the region, scientists, breeders, designers, developers of agricultural machinery. More than 3,000 specialists and managers of agricultural and agro-industrial companies participated in the business program of the exhibition," Nikolai Bustard, Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Omsk Region, shared the results.

It should be noted that for the first two days the exhibition was open only to agricultural specialists. An inspection of the experimental fields of the Omsk ANTS was organized for the chief agronomists of the departments of agriculture of municipal districts, as well as demonstrations of equipment in the fields. Farmers attended various seminars, round tables, a business forum, presentations and test drives. A total of 16 business program events were held during the agricultural exhibition, where digitalization in the agro-industrial complex was one of the topical topics of discussion.

On July 24, Alexander Burkov, Chairman of the Government of the Omsk Region and Governor of the Omsk Region, opened the opening ceremony of the AgroOmsk-2019 exhibition and fair. "This year, 32 Russian regions are participating in AgroOmsk, twice as many as before. Our neighbors from Kazakhstan have also arrived. This indicates the popularity of the exhibition, and most importantly, it leads to an increase in contracts between agricultural enterprises and machinery manufacturers. This year, I am sure our farmers will sign even more contracts that will allow our enterprises to develop, modernize our farms, and make our agricultural production truly more modern and high-tech," Alexander Burkov emphasized.

For five days, the fair was visited by residents of Omsk and guests of our city. Many visitors to the fair took part in numerous presentations and tastings of agricultural products produced in the region, got acquainted with various types of agricultural machinery, and also purchased meat and dairy products, fresh honey, fish and confectionery products from Omsk manufacturers at affordable prices. Every day, the guests of the fair enjoyed a cultural and entertainment program, contests and quizzes from the participants, programs with animators, photo zones, interactive activities, trampolines, attractions, camel riding, horses and ponies, as well as a petting zoo where everyone could feed the animals were organized for children.

"The AgroOmsk trade Fair is being held for the 17th time and over the years it has established itself as a dynamic business platform, where interaction between different industries and consumers is strengthening. From year to year, this exhibition and fair event is an excellent opportunity to learn about new domestic technologies and developments, get acquainted with samples of agricultural machinery and equipment, exchange valuable experience with colleagues and tell about their achievements. I am sure that this year the fair has become a useful and profitable platform for the sale of products of representatives of small and medium-sized businesses in the Omsk region and other regions. We will definitely try to surprise the guests of the AgroOmsk fair next year," said Evgeny Kovtun, General Director of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency.
