The Bednary trade show is over. As always, there was a surprisingly high number of visitors. Agro Show 2023 in figures, that is over 129,000 square meters of exhibition space, 694 exhibitors and more than 80,000 visitors. There were nearly 100 foreign companies from 19 countries, including China, Turkey and even Canada.
Among the crowds that visited Bednary this year were many young people, especially on Friday. These were mainly groups from agricultural schools all over Poland. Many of these girls and boys are active farmers, working on their parents' or grandparents' farms. They already possess professional technical knowledge and expertise. This young generation is our future. Saturday was traditionally the dealer and customer day. The current state of agriculture and the uncertain future dominated many conversations with the dealers. Similar topics were discussed with the farmers, but the technical issues were more important to them. The spreading of slurry by methods other than traditional spreading in the air was a key topic, which means that programs such as Vulnerable Areas (OSN) or ECO-SCHEMES are widely known among farmers. In this field, JOSKIN has been offering suitable implements for many years.
Joskin's exhibition was impressive. We presented 37 machines and implements from almost all our product ranges. The possibility of exhibiting completely new models of machines or implements not previously presented was an additional attraction of our stand. The main novelty was the 28-t Ferti-SPACE2 HORIZON H8014/28TR muck spreader with 3 beaters and a modern weighing system. Another was the 26,000-l Tetraliner of the ADTL26000V/3-22 series introduced to the Polish market. Thanks to the European certification, this is another slurry tanker that can be offered in Poland, mainly for transport. Last year's contest around our brand was a great success, which prompted us to it to repeat it. The draw for the "wheel of fortune" was an extra attraction. Furthermore, the weather was exceptionally fine. The exhibition has already had a positive impact thanks to sales of the machines we presented.
We would like to thank all the visitors who came in such large numbers to our stand. Thanks also to our dealers for their active support of our team and to our staff for their involvement in the organisation of the stand.
We are looking forward to seeing you next year.
