The international exhibition Agro Show-2018, which took place at the end of September in Poznan, showed that the Polish market is one of the most attractive in Europe in terms of volume, and therefore the Ukrainian “Frunze Plant” (Kharkiv) is exploring various him.

According to the chairman of the board of PJSC “Zavod Frunze” Alexander Vasilenko, according to the results of the Agro Show, the company has already signed the first contract worth 300 thousand. uah. for the supply of fencing sections.

“This is a good signal, but we, of course, want more, especially since there are many examples of Ukrainian companies, including our clients, who successfully work with Poland,” he said.

For example, he said, the Kobzarenko Plant, which produces various types of agricultural equipment, is now building its own production near Lodz to increase exports to Europe. Also, according to him, the manufacturer of grain cleaning equipment, Aeromeh, is very active. It has transferred capacity from the occupied part of the Luhansk region and today exports its products to 10 European countries.

“There are successful companies that should be equal to, and we are now thinking how to enter the Polish market: through a dealer company, creating our own warehouse of products or production,” said Vasilenko.

He noted that the Polish market is very difficult to work..

"On the one hand, it is capacious, it is close to us geographically and mentally, here is akin to the Slavic language, which we understand well. On the other hand, Poles prefer to buy from their own, which is why even large foreign manufacturers work here mainly through dealers, ”said Vasilenko..

In addition, according to him, the Poles are very demanding on the quality and price of products.

“The common motto that dominates here is good products at a good price.”. the quality should be like that of the Germans, and the prices should be 10-15% cheaper. What was very clearly seen during the Agro Show. Such demands do not scare us: the level of our technical equipment allows us to make products of the highest quality.

And now we are in the process of making a strategic decision on how to work in this difficult but interesting market for us, ”said Vasilenko..

"Frunze Plant" in its exposition focused on the promotion of new items - sieves for outdoor grain storage.
