The International Agricultural Exhibition AGRA 2023 (21–25 February 2023) covers all areas and sectors of agriculture – science, practice, technologies, machinery, products, innovations, services. It presents the best of the achievements of science and business and the most useful solutions for farmers and specialists.

Innovation Portal

“Agra” has established itself as a prestigious forum for presenting innovations and this trend continues. The participants showcase latest-generation technologies and machinery for different types of farms, cost-effective equipment, improved varieties and breeds. Producers, agricultural companies and scientific institutes exchange experience and present new solutions and knowledge in the agricultural sector.

A large part of the exhibition is oriented towards innovations in agricultural machinery and equipment, but in 2023 the business programme dedicated to innovations in agricultural science is also particularly impressive.
