In-depth discussions were held between trade professionals, leading manufacturers and end-users from the entire spectrum of agriculture sectors. Many of the globally leading companies were present, among them John Deere, Case New Holland, Shanghai New Holland, Kubota, Yanmar, CHIKUSUI CANYCOM, Tongyang, ISEKI, Start, LS, Suncue, FOTONLOVOL, YTO Group, Jiangsu Changfa, Changzhou Dongfeng, Wuzheng Group, Luoyang Zhongshou, Feraboli and GEA WestfaliaSurge. “AGMET is an exploration trip for us. We would like to understand the Chinese market through this exhibition. It was really an unforgettable experience.” explained Mr. Suffissais, Export Manager of SULKY BUREL.
Mr. Zhang Taolin, China's Vice Minister of Agriculture opened the AGMET event. Mr. Zong Jinyao, Chairman of the Mechanization Administration in China's Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Ma Shiqing, Executive Vice President of China's Agricultural Mechanization Association and Mr. Roland Bleinroth, Managing Director of Messe Stuttgart, delivered speeches. Distinguished guests from China's Agricultural Machinery Testing Centre, the Center of Agricultural Mechanization Extension, China Agricultural Mechanization Herald, as well as co-organizers, supporting organizations and provincial agricultural bureaus, attended the ceremony, as did officials from the embassies of Germany, Denmark, Bangladesh, France, Malaysia and Pakistan.
Conferences, onsite demonstrations and other events also took place in conjunction with AGMET 2010. The renowned agricultural universities, China Agricultural University and the University of Hohenheim, leading global agricultural manufacturers and government officials all met at the International Forum of Agricultural Mechaniza-tion for New Products, New Technology and New Information to discuss advanced agricultural mechanization and internationalization before an expert audience. The Agricultural Mechanization Research Achievements Exchange Seminar, the Agricultural Mechanization Institutes Conference and the Agricultural Machinery Appraisal Experts Symposium, as well as agricultural machinery enterprises, leading Canadian agricultural technology from Saskatchewan, field visits and on-site demon-strations by agricultural machinery manufacturers, catered to the interests of the spe-cialist public.
A total of 38 visitor delegations were welcomed to the exhibition. Among them North Korea's Europe Aid Food Security Office, Japan's Farm Machinery Manufacturers' Association, provincial agricultural machinery bureaus, machinery users, cooperative organisations, research institutes and trade associations. Mr. Mike Dahlseide, Director of International Sales & Marketing at the MORRIS Corporate Office and Training Center commented: “We decided to hold a press conference at AGMET because the exhibition attracts a lot of government officials, experts and manufacturers. These are the people who will help us develop our presence in the Chinese market. Our future development lies with China.” Meanwhile, media coverage from AGMET was provided in Chinese, English, German and Korean and focussed on the common development of the agricultural mechanization industry.
Through the joint efforts of Messe Stuttgart and China's Agricultural Mechanization Association, AGMET became a bridge facilitating trade between China and overseas agricultural machinery manufacturers. AGMET 2010 was a professional, international platform for the agricultural mechanization industry in China and the region. The professional organization, international exhibitor participation and visitor delegations from most parts of China as well as numerous international destinations all served to differentiate AGMET from other Chinese trade shows serving the agricultural sector. The next exhibition dates will be announced soon.
