Agroprodmash 2027: food processing from raw material to distribution

28 September–1 October 2027
Crocus Expo, Pavilion 3, halls 13, 14, 15 and 18
Mezhdunarodnaya Street 20, Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region, Russia

Agroprodmash is the 32nd international exhibition for equipment, technologies, raw materials and ingredients for the food processing industry. Its scope follows the food value chain from primary processing and ingredient supply through manufacturing, packaging, quality control, refrigeration, storage and logistics. The organiser presents the event as a Moscow exhibition; Crocus Expo is physically located in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region.

In the 2026 edition, the organiser reported 770+ companies from 19 countries and 23,966 visitors from 50 countries. The published visitor profile includes business owners, purchasing and development directors, food technologists, production and quality leaders, managers, development heads and researchers or students. These are previous-edition figures, not guarantees for 2027.

Why Agroprodmash matters to food producers

Food processing operations depend on connected choices: how raw materials are handled, transformed, checked, packaged, cooled, stored and moved. Agroprodmash brings these parts of the production chain together, making it possible to compare categories and discuss how equipment, ingredients and services could fit a real manufacturing requirement.

• Review complete process lines: connect raw-material preparation with production, packaging, testing and downstream storage.
• Compare technologies: assess equipment, automation, ingredients and quality tools against product, capacity and plant constraints.
• Discuss operational performance: ask how a proposed solution affects throughput, hygiene, waste, product consistency, energy use and changeovers.
• Explore supplier options: use face-to-face discussions to identify what technical and commercial information is still needed for an investment decision.

The organiser’s 2026 results report says 74.4% of visitors had buying authority or provided buying recommendations. That makes the visitor mix relevant to commercial discussions, but it does not guarantee a purchase, lead or contract for any participant.

Who should visit Agroprodmash?

Food and beverage manufacturers

Production owners and plant managers can focus on the process steps that limit capacity, consistency or flexibility. Compare machinery by the products it handles, the line speed and batch assumptions, cleaning and changeover needs, integration with existing lines and the service support required after installation.

Food technologists, engineers and quality teams

Use the exhibition to examine processing methods, laboratory and testing equipment, ingredients, automation and quality-control tools. Bring product specifications and process conditions, and ask how measurements, controls and equipment are validated for the intended application.

Purchasing, development and investment teams

Build a comparable shortlist rather than collecting brochures without a decision framework. Record total scope, capacity assumptions, utilities, installation work, operator training, consumables, maintenance, spare parts and supplier responsibilities. Separate quoted facts from claims that need technical review.

Ingredient, equipment and service suppliers

Companies supplying machinery, ingredients, packaging, refrigeration, testing, software or production services can use the show to explain a specific application to professional visitors. Prepare examples that show operating conditions and compatibility, and define the information needed to qualify follow-up discussions.

Food retail, catering and distribution professionals

Retailers, food-service operators and logistics teams may focus on packaging, refrigeration, storage, weighing, labelling and product-handling requirements. Prioritise solutions that affect product integrity, display, storage or movement through the parts of the supply chain relevant to your business.

What can you find at Agroprodmash?

The official exhibition divides its offer across 25 subject areas. The categories span both core food processing and the systems that support safe, efficient production.

• Food and beverage production equipment: machinery for meat, poultry, fish, dairy, grain and flour, bakery, pasta, confectionery, oils, fruit and vegetables, canned products, ice cream, beverages and specialist foods.
• Ingredients and raw materials: ingredients, additives, spices, casings and technologies for their production and application.
• Automation and engineering: production automation, end-to-end engineering and integrated solutions for food plants.
• Packaging and weighing: packaging equipment and materials, portioning, bottling, pre-packing, weighing, marking and labelling.
• Testing and quality: laboratory, analytical and testing equipment for food production and quality inspection.
• Refrigeration and climate systems: commercial refrigerators and freezers, refrigeration and compressor units, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment.
• Retail, catering and HoReCa: equipment for shops, cafes, restaurants, bakeries, fast food and mobile catering.
• Warehouse and production logistics: storage, loading, handling and transport equipment for production sites and logistics hubs.
• Components and plant infrastructure: pumps, pipes, fittings, water treatment, tanks, heating, electrical equipment, cleaning and sanitation solutions.
• Agriculture and feed: agricultural equipment, animal agriculture, farm operations and feed production or storage.

Use these categories to identify the right halls and questions, then check the 2027 exhibitor catalogue and pavilion plan when finalised. A category label alone does not establish that a particular supplier or model will be present.

Set objectives before Agroprodmash

If you are planning a production upgrade

Write one measurable objective, such as identify two line configurations that meet my product and throughput requirements. Bring the product range, batch size, current bottleneck, available footprint, utility limits and target commissioning window. Ask vendors to clarify what is included in the line and which integration tasks remain with your team.

If you are sourcing ingredients or packaging

List the ingredients, formats or packaging functions you need to compare. Prepare the relevant product specification, storage conditions, quality requirements, expected volumes and compatibility constraints. Ask about technical documentation, handling conditions, consistency and supply arrangements without assuming a particular certification or price.

If you are responsible for quality or food safety

Identify the process stage or measurement you need to strengthen. Compare testing methods, sampling requirements, operating conditions, calibration and how the equipment fits your current quality workflow. Keep compliance questions tied to the product and jurisdiction that apply to your operation.

If you are exhibiting

Choose a target application and audience. Prepare an explanation of the operating problem, relevant product range, technical requirements and support model. Decide which information you need from prospective customers and who will own each follow-up, while treating future commercial results as uncertain.

How to prepare for Agroprodmash

1. Map the process. Sketch the product route from incoming raw material to finished, packed goods. Mark the steps where quality, output, storage or labour constraints are most important.
2. Prioritise the subject areas. Group exhibitors into essential, useful and optional visits. Allocate time for connected systems—such as processing, packaging and refrigeration—rather than evaluating each machine in isolation.
3. Prepare technical questions. Ask about product range, throughput conditions, changeovers, cleaning, hygiene, utilities, integration, testing, operator training, maintenance and spare parts.
4. Bring comparable requirements. Use the same product and operating assumptions in each supplier discussion. Record capacity, line configuration, footprint, inclusions, exclusions and items requiring a later proposal.
5. Review visitor tools. The organiser provides visitor registration and a MatchMaking appointments system. Check the current instructions and exhibitor information before relying on those tools for 2027 planning.
6. Confirm practical arrangements. The official visitor information lists 28–30 September opening hours as 10:00–18:00 and 1 October as 10:00–16:00. Recheck the latest schedule, registration and venue arrangements before travelling.

How to use the exhibition floor

Food-production equipment is easiest to compare when you use a consistent record. For each relevant supplier, note company → process step → product or ingredient → capacity and conditions → integration → cleaning and service → next action. For a packaging line, for example, record the product format, speed assumptions, changeover requirements, consumables and any upstream or downstream equipment needed.

Where a supplier presents an integrated solution, identify which equipment, controls, installation and commissioning are included. Ask for technical documentation that your production, engineering and quality teams can review after the show. If a result depends on a specific product or operating condition, write that condition beside the claim.

Programme and special events

Agroprodmash has an event-programme section, and the 2026 edition included a Forum on Food Processing Machinery. The official 2027 programme should be checked for confirmed sessions, speakers and timing. Use the programme to complement supplier meetings: select a session when it addresses a production, technology or investment question on your list, rather than attending simply to fill time.

Plan your time at Agroprodmash

The exhibition runs across four days, with the published visitor hours ending earlier on the final day. A focused plan might use an initial block to orient around priority product areas, the main part of the visit for supplier comparisons and meetings, and a final block for unresolved questions or sessions. Visitors assessing several process stages may want more time than someone with a narrow sourcing brief. Keep time between meetings to capture technical details and confirm next actions.

After Agroprodmash: turn comparisons into decisions

Within a few days, sort contacts into immediate project requirements, alternative suppliers and wider market information. For each serious option, request the evidence needed for a fair comparison: process capacity, product conditions, line layout, utilities, hygiene and cleaning requirements, quality-control approach, commissioning scope, operator training, service and spare-parts plan. Review proposals with production, engineering, quality, procurement and finance before deciding whether they fit. Record an owner and next step for each follow-up; a supplier conversation is a starting point, not a completed evaluation.

Who should consider exhibiting at Agroprodmash?

The exhibition’s product scope suits companies serving food manufacturing and the connected processing chain. Relevant exhibitors include manufacturers and suppliers of:

• Machinery for meat, poultry, fish, dairy, grain, bakery, oils, fruit and vegetable processing.
• Ingredients, additives, spices, casings and raw materials.
• Packaging, weighing, bottling, marking and labelling equipment.
• Automation, end-to-end engineering and food-production software.
• Laboratory, testing, quality-inspection and food-safety solutions.
• Refrigeration, compressors, ventilation and climate equipment.
• Warehouse, production-logistics, retail, catering and HoReCa systems.
• Pumps, water treatment, sanitation, components and plant infrastructure.

Exhibitors should decide which visitor roles and product applications matter most, then prepare a demonstration or explanation that makes technical fit assessable. The 2026 results reported 534 Russian exhibitors and 238 international exhibitors among 770+ companies from 19 countries; these are figures from that edition, not a forecast for the next one.

Is Agroprodmash worth visiting?

Agroprodmash is particularly relevant to food and beverage manufacturers, food technologists, engineers, quality teams and buyers evaluating equipment, ingredients or packaging. Its broad product chain can support cross-category comparison, while the 2026 results show a substantial professional audience with many visitors involved in purchasing or recommendations. The value depends on arriving with clear operating requirements and checking each supplier’s technical fit; simply walking the halls is less likely to resolve a complex production decision.

Food processing opportunities in Russia

Market context

The Russian Ministry of Agriculture reported that actual food-production output increased by 42.9% over 2014–2023. The ministry also reported a grain harvest of nearly 130 million tonnes in 2024. These figures describe a decade-long change in food production and a recent agricultural raw-material supply indicator; neither alone predicts future demand for particular equipment.

Opportunities for exhibitors

For manufacturers of processing, packaging, refrigeration, testing and ingredient solutions, these country-level facts may support exploring where their technology fits Russian food-production needs. Exhibitors could use the fair to introduce applications, discuss local operating requirements and assess potential supply or service partnerships. Fit depends on product suitability, regulation, commercial terms and the participant’s ability to serve the market.

Opportunities for visitors

Food producers and buyers could use Agroprodmash to compare machinery and ingredients across stages of production, from raw-material handling to finished goods. The scale of agricultural inputs and the reported expansion in food output make questions about processing capacity, packaging, quality control and storage relevant areas to investigate—not assured investment opportunities.

Russia may be relevant to food-industry participants whose products match local processors’ needs and whose market-entry, supply and service requirements are feasible. The cited production figures provide context, not a guarantee of customer demand or business results.

Discover Moscow

Agroprodmash is promoted as a Moscow exhibition, while Crocus Expo’s physical address is in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region. The Moscow City Government highlights central landmarks as well as visitor destinations beyond the historic core; plan any city visit separately from time at the venue.

Red Square and the Kremlin

Moscow’s official city portal identifies Red Square and the Kremlin among the capital’s best-known sights. The area offers a compact way to encounter the historic centre and its major monuments.

VDNKh

VDNKh is a large exhibition and cultural precinct that the city government notes visitors often choose to visit. Its pavilions and museums offer a different perspective on Moscow’s exhibition and public-space history.

Ostankino Park

Ostankino Park is another destination highlighted by the city government beyond the central sights. If you have time around the exhibition, select a city area that fits your available schedule rather than trying to cover several distant locations in one short break.
