The 29th YUGAGRO 2022 international agricultural trade show has come to an end in Krasnodar area. This year, the event has brought together over 200 farm machinery manufacturers and suppliers which demonstrated the world’s cutting-edge technologies and novelties to 14,000 attendees.
For the third year in a row, AgroCentre has taken part in YUGAGRO showcasing new Asian self-propelled vehicles, high-performance European trailed implements, a navigation system, state-of-the-art headers, spare parts and engine oils.
As many as three new AGROAPOLLO tractors with a capacity of 90 hp, 140 hp and 220 hp were at the forefront of AgroCentre’s booth. Although Chinese self-propelled machines are now widely represented in Russia, AGROAPOLLO units have a decided edge over other counterparts. One of their key features is a circular view camera – a convenient tool helping to control the fieldwork, track side obstacles and easily operate trailed implements. AGROAPOLLO tractors are also fitted with a reduction gear enabling the machine to move at a minimum speed of 0.26 km/h, which is ideal for working in potato fields, with mulchers and cutters.
‘For six months, AgroCentre has delivered over 100 AGROAPOLLO tractors with a wide capacity range to Russian farmers. A significant share of sales is accounted for Krasnodar area. Next year’s blueprint is to sell more than 400 units, including powerful 260 hp tractors, which will soon become available at the company's dealerships’, says Sergey Lomantsov, Executive Director of AgroCentreLiski.
AGROAPOLLO tractors are optionally equipped with the FJDynamics navigation system, an advanced digital device that can be installed on any tractor and used without unlocking and extra packages. The RTK base station ensures operation within a radius of up to 30 km with 2.5 cm accuracy – an excellent solution for an efficient business.
Apart from the novelties, the Horsch Maestro 8DV seed drill and the Horsch Joker 8RT disc harrow were showcased at AgroCentre’s booth. The machines of the German brand have long won all hearts on the Russian agricultural market and are tillage bestsellers.
‘Over the last few years, the demand for some Horsch machines has exceeded the supply – every year, AgroCentre sells about 300 trailed units. Our customers mainly opt for row-crop and grain drills’, points out Sergey Lomantsov.
To make the exposition even more impressive, the dealer also presented maize and sunflower headers made by Zaffrani, a leading manufacturer of harvesting and drying machinery. Zaffrani offers patented technologies that are acknowledged as one of the most cutting-edge solutions in the world.
‘Year by year, the trade show knits together more and more farmers. In addition to the central and southern regions of Russia, Siberia and the northern part of the country were also represented at the event. By now, YUGAGRO has become a key platform for agricultural machinery manufacturers and suppliers, where they can have fresh experiences and sign important contracts’, sums up Sergey Lomantsov.
