Agrárgépshow 2018

Expanding Hungarian agriculture, growing exhibition

On 28th January, Hungexpo concluded its most successful agricultural exhibition of all time. More visitors and exhibitors attended the 35th AGROmashEXPO hosted at the Budapest Fair Center from 25-28 of January and the 7th AgragepShow as well as the simultaneously hosted Hungarian Garden and Viticulture and Viniculture professional fairs than last year.

The most significant Hungarian agricultural exhibition was attended by 45,000 visitors. 350 exhibitors (including 36 from foreign countries) yet again occupied the entire area of the Fair Center: presenting their machines and innovations in 9 pavilions and the accompanying open air space across nearly 40 thousand square meters.
The Hungarian agriculture has been continuously expanding since 2010, producing a 55% growth rate over six years with an output of 2620 billion HUF in 2016, said Minister of  Agriculture Sandor Fazekas at the exhibition's opening ceremony.

The minister highlighted the fact that the agriculture is the driving force of the Hungarian economy - not just figuratively, but literally as well, since its mechanization has expanded in recent years, along with its technical standards and level of technology. He added that the agricultural machine manufacturing sector played a major role in this development, which is one of the most important pillars of the agriculture.

Sandor Fazekas felt that this year's prospects for the agricultural machine industry and machine trade are rather favourable as 2017 will be a year of growth for manufacturers and traders alike. Furthermore, he added that the consistent work of the last six years serves as the foundation for the conditions of the further development of the agriculture.
