Marina Afonina, Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation:
“In recent years, the agriculture industry has been one of the drivers of the national economy. Food and food processing industries play a significant role in this. From year to year, we observe not only growth in the production of the main groups of food products, but also a significant expansion of their assortment. Of course, such results would not be possible without the dynamic development of technologies, as well as the participation of the state in these processes. The existing support measures expand opportunities for our producers and give impetus to the whole sector. Agroprodmash is one of the key business events in the industry. It allows all market participants to learn about the latest achievements in various spheres related to the food processing industry, find new partners and exchange experience.”
Alexey Nemeryuk, Minister of the Moscow City Government, Head at the Moscow City Department of Trade and Services:
“Over the years, Agroprodmash has established itself as an effective business platform for discussing the development prospects of the technologies aimed to improve the equipment used in the food processing industry, as well as for the exchange of best practices and the development of constructive solutions in key areas in this field. For many years, this event has been strengthening business ties and opening new opportunities for cooperation. It allows food processing professionals to learn about the latest technologies from leading Russian and foreign manufacturers, and advanced equipment for the entire chain from production of raw materials and ingredients to production of finished products, their packaging, delivery and storage.”
Show highlights
Agroprodmash 2024 offered all equipment and ingredients demanded by the market. It presented technologies for modern food production, as well as for catering enterprises. The demonstration of equipment in operation, both domestic and foreign, generated special interest.
There were a lot of negotiations, and a lot of contracts were signed for the supply of Russian products both domestically and abroad.
Among foreign participants, Chinese manufacturers were the most active this year: 145 companies from China took part in the exhibition. Turkey (28 companies), Italy (26 companies) and Belarus (20 companies) also had a strong presence.
APM Ingredients demonstrated products of more than 350 brands from Austria, Belarus, China, Denmark, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia, and Uzbekistan. Russian companies presented the latest developments in the field of ingredients and additives for the food industry. All companies that are important for the Russian market took part in APM Ingredients. As usual, this sector reflects the most up-to-date trends in the food industry and presents a large number of new products and innovative developments for the meat, dairy, confectionery, bakery, and beverage industries.
The APM Meat Tech, APM PoultryTech and APM Casing sectors brought together 134 companies from 11 countries.

APM Packaging welcomed more than 160 exhibitors from 8 countries. They demonstrated more than 200 Russian and foreign brands for packaging of various types of products, group packaging, ready-made packaging, and artificial vision and automation. The growth compared to last year both in terms of area and the number of exhibitors exceeded 15%. The growth was achieved due to the appearance of new major exhibitors, including representatives of well-known foreign brands that continue to provide equipment service, new partners of major Russian manufacturers and distributors, including those from China and Turkiye, independent large enterprisers from China and CIS countries, as well as Russian companies that presented a large variety of equipment and packaging solutions.
