EVENTS
TRENDS
Many leading manufacturers
showcased the best technical
premieres that have never been
demonstrated in Russia before.
Another notable trend was a growing
interest in automated and
robotic systems presented in different
sections: technologies for
slaughtering and meat processing,
equipment for dairy production,
confectionery production, packaging,
warehouse systems, etc. These
innovations testify to the target
upgrade of the Russian production
facilities.
Agroprodmash 2018 was focused
on the development of such trends
as environmental friendliness and
healthy lifestyle.
