YugAgro stands as Russia’s largest and longest-running international exhibition for agricultural machinery, equipment, and crop production technologies. Held annually in Krasnodar at the Expograd Yug exhibition complex, this event has become the definitive meeting point for agricultural professionals across Russia and beyond.
A Legacy of Agricultural Excellence
For over three decades, YugAgro has served as the premier platform for showcasing innovations in crop production. The 2025 edition, held from November 18 to 21, marked the 32nd iteration of the exhibition, reinforcing its status as a key industry event. The upcoming 33rd edition is scheduled for November 17–20, 2026, continuing the tradition of bringing together the agricultural sector’s leading voices.
Scale and Reach
The numbers behind YugAgro reflect its significance as a truly international gathering. In 2025, the exhibition welcomed more than 650 exhibitors from 14 countries and attracted over 19,700 agricultural professionals from 77 Russian regions and 40 countries. The event spanned 65,000 square meters of exhibition space, providing ample room for companies to display their latest products and technologies.
Among the international participants, Turkey was represented by 22 companies, while China brought 49 firms. Belarus also maintained a strong presence with 20 companies. Other participating nations included India, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Serbia, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic, underscoring YugAgro’s role as a global crossroads for agricultural trade.
Comprehensive Sector Coverage
YugAgro covers the full spectrum of crop production, from soil preparation to post-harvest storage and processing. The exhibition is organized into distinct sectors that reflect the complete agricultural value chain:
Agricultural Machinery and Spare Parts remains the largest segment, with over 260 participants in 2025 showcasing everything from tractors and harvesters to precision farming tools. This sector attracts significant attention, as 69% of visitors express interest in agricultural machinery and equipment.
Agrochemicals and Seeds featured more than 170 exhibitors, including a dedicated exposition of Russian seeds and breeding achievements. This sector is particularly relevant given the ongoing focus on import substitution and domestic agricultural development.
Equipment for Storage and Processing drew over 130 participants presenting solutions for grain drying, cold chain management, milling, and packaging technologies.
Irrigation and Greenhouse Equipment rounded out the exhibition with more than 60 companies specializing in water management and controlled-environment agriculture.
A Market of Significant Opportunity
The Russian agricultural machinery market presents a substantial opportunity for international suppliers. With annual agricultural machinery import volumes exceeding $1.2 billion, local demand continues to outpace domestic supply. This gap creates a clear opening for international exhibitors offering modern, high-quality equipment.
The broader Russian agribusiness market was valued at $68.3 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $86.3 billion by 2034. For companies positioned to serve this market, YugAgro offers direct access to decision-makers actively investing in their operations.

The exhibition attracts a highly targeted audience of agricultural professionals with purchasing authority and business objectives. According to visitor data, 36% of attendees are crop producers and farmers, 15% are agricultural machinery buyers, and 12% represent agrochemical and seed distributors. Notably, 28% of visitors are company owners or managers, providing exhibitors with access to high-level decision-makers.
The 2025 event recorded 26,671 total visits from agricultural specialists across 77 Russian regions, demonstrating the breadth of reach and sustained engagement throughout the four-day exhibition.
