Exhibition – source of knowledge and contacts
POLAGRA’s biggest asset is its diversity, and this is not going to change. The exhibition is the best place to get acquainted with food products which respond to the dietary preferences of consumers, new technologies supporting production while maintaining the highest safety standards in food production, as well as solutions for HoReCa. The organizers are looking forward to re-establishing the Polish dairy and meat promotional sections.

Exhibition formule
Most of all the exhibition is a direct business meetings point, however to make participation in the event possible, especially for foreign visitors, hybrid edition of POLAGRA is planned. We’re preparing the hybrid edition of POLAGRA, since presence of foreign buyers interested in importing Polish food is our high priority. Limitations in travelling are an obvious obstacle but as such, cannot make their participation in the event impossible – says Dariusz Wawrzyniak, Product Group Director.Grupa MTP has already gained experience in successful organizing business events using online platforms enabling digital participation.

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
POLAGRA is not only an exhibition but also accompanying events for exhibitors and visitors. One of the main is POLAGRA EXPORT MEETING congress which aim is Polish food promotion in foreign markets and developing cooperation whichincrease sale of domestic products in the EU and other countries.
