Exhibition – source of knowledge and contacts
POLAGRA’s biggest asset is its diversity, and this is not going to change.

Grupa MTP hosted over 100 representatives of retail chains from Algeria, Belarus, Belgium, Croatia, Estonia, France, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
“Hosted Buyer” has been a very important part of POLAGRA which has been promoting Polish food products in foreign markets. We are developing the capabilities of our B2B platform in order to strengthen the impact of “Hosted Buyer” during this year’s edition of POLAGRA – explain Dariusz Wawrzyniak.

Knowledge exchange platform
