VILNIUS — The AgroBalt trade fair, which showcases Lithuanian food products, livestock, machinery and heritage items, is a boon for Lithuanian farmers, earned high praise from the country’s president.
AgroBalt shows off top-of-the-line Lithuanian and international agricultural products and awards those deemed to be of the highest quality. The 18th AgroBalt fair, which started Thursday and finished up on Saturday had [private_supervisor]exhibitors from all over Europe.
“I am happy to see that Lithuanian farmers and food producers become more and more competitive and that the quality of Lithuanian products is appreciated by millions of consumers both in Lithuania and abroad,” President Dalia Grybauskaitė said at the trade fair.
Grybauskaitė said that the European Union had opened up new avenues for people in the agriculture industry, one of the country’s core knowledge centers.
Lithuania has strong roots in agrarian culture and food is highly appreciated in the country.
The Commissioner of the European Union for Agriculture and Rural Development Dacian Ciolos and agriculture ministers from countries in the region were in attendance at the fair.
Visitors tasted food products, looked at packaging technologies and more as Lithuanian and international producers showed off their wares. Foreign delegations enjoyed the fair because it helps them get their foot in the door in a new market.
Fabio Belli, the local representative of the Italian delegation at AgroBalt, told Baltic Reports that it had been a success.
“The AgroBalt for the Italian delegation was very very good. More than seven people came from Italy including Edmondo Cirielli, the president of the Salerno province and member of Italian parliament,” Belli said. “He had a meeting with the Italian ambassador and vice minister of the Lithuanian agriculture ministry.”
Belli said many companies and private individuals expressed an interest in high quality products from the Mediterranean country.
Gold rush
The show gave out 20 gold medals to deserving winners displaying excellence in their fields.
This year medals were given to those not only selling great products, but also for those who produced natural and environmentally friendly products too. The chairman of the trade fair said that competition had been fiercer this year than in previous years.
“Manufacturers have been very active this year. Probably a one-year break for the organization of the exhibition also had some influence. We have seen even the farmers that weren’t previously here,” Chairman of AgroBalt and vice minister of agriculture Mindaugas Kuklierius said in a press release after the awards ceremony.
A full list of gold medal winners and diploma recipients can be seen here. The fair was attended by delegations from 20 countries as far east as Kyrgyzstan and from Western Europe. [/private_supervisor] [private_subscription 1 month]exhibitors from all over Europe.
