Anniversary Agroprodmash 2025 is open
The opening ceremony of the 30th edition of the International Exhibition for Equipment, Technologies, Raw Materials and Ingredients for the Food Processing Industry – Agroprodmash 2025 – took place today at Crocus Expo, Moscow.
The show is organised by EXPOCENTRE AO with the support of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade and under the auspices of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Agroprodmash is recognized as the best exhibition in Russia in all nominations in the Food Industry: Equipment and Ingredients category (according to the Russian National Exhibition Rating).
In the year of its 30th anniversary, Agroprodmash occupies over 55 thousand square metres to welcome 853 companies from 22 countries, including 615 Russian manufactures, supplier and integrators. Of 238 foreign exhibitors China is heading the list with 144 exhibitors, with Turkiye with 27, Belarus with 23, and Italy with 18 following it.
The sector-like showcase of Agroprodmash demonstrates equipment and technologies for the entire chain of food processing from production of raw materials and ingredients to finished products, their packaging, quality control, cooling, storage, and logistics solutions. The show offers a variety of competitive developments for meat, dairy, bakery and confectionery industries, bottling, beverages, packaging and labeling of finished products, food ingredients and spices, as well as products for cross-industry purposes.
The conference programme offers various relevant forums and special sessions with government, science and business representatives. The agenda includes current issues of meat processing, dairy, confectionery and bakery industries, ingredients, digitalization and robotics, and refrigeration technologies.
The programme has opened with the 15th International Meat Congress: Research, Current Trends and New Segments, organised by Gorbatov Federal Research Center for Food Systems of the Russian Academy of Sciences and EXPOCENTRE.
The congress was moderated by the centre’s leading researchers: Anastasia Semenova, Deputy Director for Scientific Work, and Yulia Kuzlyakina, Head of the Technical Regulation Department.
The tone of the congress was set by the introduction speech by Olga Kaityalidi, Head of Analytical Projects at the Marketing Research Agency of Gorbatov Federal Research Center for Food Systems. She believes that the market consolidation is in its early stages today. In about 5–7 years, the whole market will be completely different, with other players.
“The market is oversaturated now,” Olga Kaityalidi said. "It is not growing. There are individual growing segments, but not the global meat processing market. Today, consumption is already 70 kilograms per person, and there is nowhere to grow further physically and physiologically. In these conditions, federal retail chains are ‘reducing the shelf.’ This means that the competition will grow a lot. In response to this growing competition, manufacturers, especially medium and small ones, must have their own answer.”
Experts discussed breakthrough technologies, consumer trends, the use of AI in cattle growing animal husbandry and processing, innovations in packaging, and the development of a single cold chain, and much more.
During the congress, the centre's experts not only presented unique developments, but also led discussions about the future of the food industry, making presentations on the most relevant topics.
Agroprodmash 2025 is open until 2 October.
