AgroWorld Qazaqstan 2022: what happened

What happened at AgroWorld Qazaqstan 2022

The 16th AgroWorld Qazaqstan took place on 2–4 November 2022 at Atakent in Almaty, Kazakhstan, with Iteca and ICA Events Group as organisers. Exhibitors covered livestock, feed, greenhouses and machinery. ColdChain ran next to it and added cold storage and refrigerated transport to the mix. Farm output and the systems that store and move it were on show side by side.

The fair made most sense where farming meets storage and distribution. Picking equipment for the first step of a process achieves little if the real constraint sits further down the line. It might lie in a store, on the road or in after-sales support. A full map of the product's journey, showing every handover between firms, gave a better basis for decisions. Livestock-technology suppliers also had to think about commissioning, training of farm staff and upkeep.

The core audience was storage operators, integrators, importers, machinery makers and livestock and crop technology firms. Polish firms could use Almaty to begin researching partners in Central Asia. Three points needed settling early: the party managing a project, the buyer of the equipment and the team running it day to day. Customers are widely scattered, so it was vital to know how parts and technical help reach sites beyond Almaty.

The 2022 edition rewarded companies seeking projects that join production to its supporting logistics. A sound result was a stakeholder list sorted by value-chain stage, plus an agreed plan to study the needs of one client. References from customers and a written escalation procedure said more about a partner's reach than general talk of a regional presence.
