The conference programme of Agroprodmash 2022 was opened with the Russian Conference on Strategic Challenges of Agribusiness: Anti-crisis Solutions, Alternative Logistics, Raw Materials and Ingredients. The event is organised by EXPOCENTRE AO and KVK Imperia.
Opening the forum, Director General at KVK Imperia Andrey Podlesnov said that this year the food industry was facing new challenges. According to him, new threats have emerged and affect all systemic processes of any manufacturing business such as modernisation of development, supply of equipment, components and raw materials, logistics, product sales, and others. Today, the food industry accounts for more than 15% of this country's total industrial output. And at the household level, the Russian Public Opinion Research Center estimates that Russians spend 60% of their income on food. This means that the agriculture industry remains in demand in all periods of history.
Agroprodmash 2022, the 27th International Exhibition for Equipment, Technologies, Raw Materials and Ingredients for the Food Processing Industry, was welcomed by Dmitry Patrushev, Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation.
«Agroprodmash is one of the key events for the industry which allows professionals to learn about the latest developments of the Russian and foreign manufacturers of equipment in various segments of the food processing industry», the minister said in his welcome address. «I am sure that this year, as usual, the event will be perfectly held, become an effective platform for the constructive dialogue between the market participants, and will enable exchange of expertise and establishment of promising business contacts».

The Agroprodmash team has published a preliminary list of exhibitors at this international exhibition for equipment, technologies, raw materials and ingredients for the food processing industry, which will take place at EXPOCENTRE Fairgrounds, Moscow, Russia, on 10–14 October 2022. It is already clear that there will be a great number of important and interesting participants, both Russia and foreign. There is already a high level of participation from both Russian and foreign companies.
The list by now looks quite representative, and the number of participants continues to grow. First and foremost, these are Russian manufacturers and suppliers of food equipment, ingredients and technology.
The 6th Russian Forum on Bakery and Confectionery Industry “Bread Business” has opened at Agroprodmash 2021, the 26th International Exhibition for Equipment, Technologies, Raw Materials and Ingredients for the Food Processing Industry. It is organised by KVK Imperia and EXPOCENTRE AO.
The volume of the Russian confectionery production decreased by 2% in 2020 (according to the Association of Confectionery Industry Enterprises). In the production of bread and bakery products is also down by 3.9%. Flour is becoming more expensive, so is packaging, and the consumer is not getting richer. Total trend to healthy foods and "green" PR, which dictates the rules of rational consumption, completes the picture. It is increasingly difficult for bread and bakery producers to position their products as healthy, because the conditions and requirements for this (sometimes imaginary) are growing.
Expocentre Fairgrounds hosted a meeting between Alexey Vyalkin, Director General of EXPOCENTRE AO, and Giorgio Starace, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Italy. The meeting was attended by Francesco Pensabene, Director of ICE.
Alexey Vyalkin thanked Mr. Giorgio Starace for assistance in organising the Italian pavilion at the Agroprodmash exhibition. He noted that Italy was an important strategic partner and participant of many major exhibition projects of EXPOCENTRE AO.
The conference programme of the Agroprodmash 2021 exhibition continued with the 8th Annual Conference on Raw Materials, Equipment and Technologies for Fruit and Vegetable Processing. It was organised by EXPOCENTRE AO in partnership with the FruitNews Information Agency.
Opening the event, Director General of the FruitNews Information Agency Irina Kozy said that the topics of today’s conference came from the rural farms. “The fact is that some of the products of our enterprises cannot be sold fresh," said Irina Kozy, "They need to be processed. That is, to open a new processing business. So today we will look at how to set up our own processing company. How to use fruit raw material, and in what form the industry needs it".
The Russian Conference on Smart Food Production: Innovative Technology, Packaging and Ingredients for Healthy Life has opened at Agroprodmash 2021, the 26th edition of the International Exhibition for Equipment, Technologies, Raw Materials and Ingredients for the Food Processing Industry. The conference is organised by KVK Imperia and EXPOCENTRE AO.
According to analysts, the global market for organic products alone is worth 13.7 billion rubles, and in a decade its potential could reach at least 4.4 trillion rubles. The Russian market for health foods is growing at 8% a year for 10 years, and by 2024 will exceed 1 billion rubles.
