It’s not a secret to anybody that Ukraine is an agricultural country. The investment potential of agribusiness is able to complete with the energy sector by its volume. And that’s encouraging. However, there is a one serious problem. To actualize the potential of Ukrainian agribusiness is possible through the introduction of modern effective technologies of farming, using good quality high-tech agricultural machinery. Despite the fact that the Ukrainian farmers desire to introduce modern technologies, there are many questions about the availability of the necessary agricultural machinery.

The realities of today make Ukrainian farmers look for ways to significantly minimize their expenses for the purchase of new agricultural machinery, repairs and restoration of the existing ones. That’s why the best way to help them is cooperation with domestic agricultural machinery sector. However, the participants of this sector are in search of the way out of the stalemate economic situation related to the closure of Russian sales market.

This situation is so profitable for foreign investors in Ukrainian agricultural machinery enterprises exactly in 2015 because of the closure of Russian sales market and shrinking budgets to upgrade farming techniques. That’s why investors, farmers and manufacturers should meet, talk, find out the needs of each other, look for the compromises and work out strategies and tactics to implement them.

To solve the existing problems, we invite you to take part in AGROMECHANICS: Systems and Components Forum which runs on September, 23-24 in Expocentre of Ukraine, Kyiv.

The forum will include two different conferences united by agricultural theme which are viewed from different angles.

The components of precise farming to economic calculations and examples of the implementation of individual stages and across technologies in Ukraine and abroad will be discussed in detail in the framework of Practical Experience of Implementation the Effective Methods of Precision Agriculture in Ukraine conference in 23rd of September.

The conference Realities and Prospects of Ukrainian Market of Agricultural Engineering and Machinery Service is a non-standard format of communication between visitors and speakers who will provide an opportunity to all interested parties of the Ukrainian business to form the backgrounds for launching production facilities for the manufacture of components to foreign agricultural equipment, repair and restoration in Ukraine. Also the conference is intended to assist the parties of the Ukrainian business start joint efforts to increase the number of agricultural service centers.

 • International Conference Development of Nut Business

The organizer of the conference is the Ukrainian Nut Association. The event was completely sold-out! Conference hall for up to 170 people hardly accommodated all the audience. And this situation is completely natural as nut business is perspective in all directions.

 • Seminar Experience of Growing Tropical and Subtropical Crops under Greenhouse-Thermos Conditions

Author of this workshop Anatoly Patiy is not just the inventor of greenhouse-thermos, but also a professional agronomist-breeder. As a result of more than twenty years of research Anatoly led varieties of lemons, the fittest for cultivation in greenhouses, developed the technology of cultivation of lemons indoors.

 • Seminar Tools for Launch of Medium and Small Farmers onto the Consumer's Table.

The seminar was organized by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) AgroInvest in Ukraine.

On the second day the following events took place:

 • Seminar on Modernization and Alternative Heating of Greenhouses.

In the context of steady growth of gas prices, alternative heating of greenhouses is topical for many Ukrainian greenhouse owners that confirmed this seminar organized by S-TEAM Exhibition Company. Representatives of Adama and Trade House BudCom both proposed decisions on alternative heating of greenhouses. Each speaker shared practical experience, and this is particularly important, because the finished proven solution has more opportunities for successful implementation. Holland Plant Ukraine explained how to grow own fuel-energy willow and what technology to observe in order to get income from growing fuel. GESS Consulting Ukraine, in addition to modern equipment, suggested financing possibilities and insurance of business projects in the field of alternative heating for small and medium-sized farms.

 • Seminar on LED lighting in greenhouses. Success story.

Manager of greenhouse lighting in Eastern Europe Philips Horticultural LED Solutions, Vadim Polyakovsky, gathered large audience of interested listeners.

Our guest from the UK, international consultant on growing berries Jeremy Darby presented at the seminar two fascinating reports. Mr. Darby told about new technologies to extend the production season of raspberries in Ukraine, and new concept of blackberries growing in greenhouses.

• Seminar on Application of In Vitro Method for Multiplication of Flower and Berry Crops.

Representative of Valley-Agro, Oleg Bazyuk and representative of Astoria, Tatyana Ivchenko professionally and affordably told the audience the importance of applying in vitro method for the production of quality planting material. The theme of this workshop is rising for the second time in the business program of our fairs and only grows its popularity among professionals. And this is, first and foremost, the economic reason: up to 2015 quality planting material has been imported from Europe. But with all the exchange rate fluctuations in the country, export expansion of these products is becoming a great luxury for farmers. This means that there is a need to create own laboratories and research stations on the micro-clonal propagation of plants in Ukraine.

 On February 27 numerous requests of visitors reached seminar on Obtaining Organic Production in Horticulture, jointly organized by the Club of Organic Farming and S-TEAM Exhibition Company. Moderator of the seminar was a consultant with the National Association of Agricultural Service of Ukraine, the chief editor of Agrosvіt Ukraine Vladimir Tarasyuk. Vladimir also told how to acquire high-quality planting material, what to look for to avoid becoming a victim of fraud. Farmer and a representative of the Club of Organic Farming Andrey Marchenko made a presentation on improving the profitability of greenhouse by the method of biologization. The real highlight of the seminar was tasting apple varieties from Holland Plant Ukraine.
