The international specialized exhibition "BELAGRO", which has no analogues in scale in the republic, will be held from June 3 to June 8, 2014. "BELAGRO" can rightfully be considered an annual summary of advanced international experience in agro-industrial engineering, and a search for original innovative solutions in the field of environmentally safe materials and waste-free technologies. The exhibition reflects the dynamics of the implementation of the state concept of the main directions of our country's agro-industrial policy.

Practice shows that the most important factors for the effective functioning of the agro-industrial market are agricultural exhibitions, which activate the promotion of commodity products to the consumer. The best domestic and international brands, leading companies, and innovators in the agro-industrial market annually choose the "Belagro" exhibition as the best platform for demonstrating new products and services.

You can familiarize yourself with the advanced directions in the development of crop production, animal husbandry, and poultry farming, modern technologies for processing, packaging, and storage of products, as well as a variety of agricultural machinery at two venues at once: from June 3 to June 6, the exhibition will be held at Pobediteley Avenue, 20/2 (Football Arena), and from June 4 to June 8, at the demonstration site of OJSC "Gastellovskoye" (Minsk region).
