The offer of the national producers of agricultural equipment and machinery presented at the exhibition “Moldagrotech” is completive, consider experts and visitors of the exhibit.
Vitalie Trinca, of “Agropiese TGR Grup” that distributes imported and national equipment, said the four large producers of agricultural equipment and machinery that are known by consumers –“Agromasina”, “Mecagro”, “Moldagrotehnica”, and “Hidromasina” – and smaller producers exhibited new models.
For example, the Balti-based company “Moldagrotehnica” displayed a modern double-disc sower and a sower with slide plates for corn and sunflower, two new large plows and a smaller plow for tractors of 80 horsepower.
“Judging by the first exhibition days, the interest in the new products is great, while the prices are lower than for imported equipment. Besides, the agricultural produces that buy equipment and machinery made in Moldova benefit from state subsidies of 30% of the price, as opposed to 20% of the price for imported equipment,” said Sergiu Bujor, head of the company’s Marketing Department. He noted that “Moldagrotehnica” sells half of its production on the domestic market and exports the other half.
Anatolie Caldare, director of the Soroca-based company “Hirdompex”, said the Moldovan companies manage to penetrate new markets. Their company decided to incorporate the hydraulic engine into a device that can spread antiskid material in winter. The motor vehicles not always can enter the yards of apartment buildings, for example, to spread such material, but this device can do it. This device is exported to Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine, but is not in demand in Moldova, as if there is no such a problem here.
The autumn edition of “Moldagrotech” is held at the Exhibitions Center “Moldexpo” during October 18-21. It involves over 140 companies from Moldova, Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, Italy, Slovakia, and Ukraine that exhibited their products on an area of over 12,000 square meters.
