The professional audience shows high interest in the Russian part of Agroprodmash 2023. A number of Russian equipment manufacturers have already announced the implementation of integrated projects to equip and automate entire production facilities. There is no doubt that Agroprodmash 2023 will help to bring to life new projects that will mainly rely on Russian-made equipment.

Russian regional group stands and pavilions will bring together 42 companies and present equipment for the dairy, meat, bakery and confectionery industries, packaging machines and materials, automation equipment and equipment for general use, etc. The packaging segment, for example, will showcase Russian thermoformers, tray packers, labellers, and software. The products for meat processing will be temperature chambers, injector syringes, casing fastening devices, etc.
