"Every year the scale of the exhibition increases and the number of visitors increases too. I want to thank everyone for the fact that despite the difficult year for farmers, you continue to work. Despite the drought, the corona crisis, the preparation for the land market, you continue to work. You "hold" the country's economy, guarantee food security and play a key role in supporting the lives of your communities," Chairman of UAC Andrii Dykun said during the official opening.
Traditionally, for the third year in a row, an auction of used agricultural machinery was held within the exhibition area, and in addition to a rich practical part, guests were offered prizes, a concert program and communication with colleagues.
"I am glad to see my colleagues and friends, as well as to see the technique at work. We look, evaluate, and then discuss with each other what things people like. Someone already has such a technique, it can give an objective response, someone tries to find something good - so we communicate with each other and it forms the final choice, so it is very good that the “Clash of Agrotitans” gives the opportunity to achieve all these goals," Chairman of the PE "Kalynskyyi Klutch" (Khmelnytsk region) Ihor Ghai, from commented.
Partner companies presented many novelties to the visitors of the «Clash of Agrotitans». In particular, the general partner "KUHN-Ukraine" presented specially developed for soil and climatic conditions of Ukraine KUHN Performer Select:
"One of the largest droughts in the history of meteorological observations is recorded this year in Ukraine. Many customers are interested in technology to preserve moisture. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity at the "Clash of Agrotitans", today we show our special unit Performer Select - a novelty in the Ukrainian market," the commercial manager of "KUHN-Ukraine" Dmytro Dovzhenko explained.
The absolute world novelty was presented by a special partner "Pöttinger":
"This year we show 5 units of equipment: 4 updated units and one absolute novelty - a four-beam cultivator Terria with a working width of 6 meters and this is the first field presentation in the world!" Pottinger-Ukraine brand manager Volodymyr Mirnenko shared his impressions.
Comparison of equipment at work is the main advantage of the "Clash of Agrotitans", and for partners it is an opportunity to show themselves and to hear the wishes of customers: “This is probably the only event in Ukraine that is held in such a format that people can see the equipment both in statics and in work. The most important thing is at work. There are many people in one area, they can compare the work of our equipment with the work of related manufacturers, to form a certain opinion” Technical Director of LLC “Veles-Agro” Viktor Plakhotnyi said.
Marketing Director of Limagrain Ukraine Oleksandr Astrakhantsev shared his colleague's opinion and mentioned that their company take part in the “Clash of Agrotitans” for a few years: “Such events are more image-based for us, because we sell only through distributors, so it's a good opportunity for us to communicate directly with people. It's autumn, farmers are harvesting soon and it's very important for us to get feedback from customers, to understand how satisfied they are with the products and the seeds we supply them, what to do differently, what to do better, because we are constantly improving. Therefore, we participate as a special seed partner and will continue to do it."
In addition, the “Clash of the Agrotitans” became a platform for acquaintance with the novelties of the agriculture sector and youth. The head of the ARP LLC “Vasylkivske” Serhii Ohorodnyk, who is also the director of HVS №42 in Pohrebysche, brought his students to the exhibition, as well as teachers - masters of industrial training and managers of the training farm.
