Modern forage harvesting technologies – new products and trends at AGRAVIA

"We're looking at our entire agricultural sector from a microbiological perspective and offering new, affordable solutions to agricultural producers to build a closed-loop economy," said Pavel Penkin, the company's CEO, in an interview with an Agroexpert correspondent.

These solutions include biopreservatives for silage and haylage, feed additives for cattle , preparations for accelerated processing of animal waste products (manure and droppings), biological preparations for protection, nutrition of plants and seeds, and soil cultivation.

Focus on feed quality and careful harvesting

According to Pavel Penkin, farmers are increasingly considering not only the basic parameters of feed, but also its nutrient composition and the needs of animals with high genetic potential. Interest in technologies for careful forage harvesting and efficient preservation is growing.

The Agro-Industrial Microbiology Group booth will showcase innovative solutions that will be of interest and use to livestock professionals. These include a next-generation biopreservative designed for silage and the preservation of haylage, crushed grain, and other plant materials. This biopreservative was named "Best Product" in the industry competition at the Agros-2025 exhibition.

AGRAVIA – the start of a successful season in agribusiness!

"AGRAVIA is the ideal platform for us at the beginning of the year to meet with leading experts, agricultural producers, and partners, discuss plans for the season, share experiences, present new products to a wider audience, and strengthen business ties," notes Pavel Penkin.

The forage production and forage preparation exhibition will also feature forage harvesting and silage equipment, vehicles, pasture management equipment, forage seeds, feed preservation and storage technologies, and much more.

Collaboration with iAGRI will expand opportunities for exhibitors and visitors

In 2026, the AGRAVIA exhibition will be held in conjunction with the first international exhibition, iAGRI, dedicated exclusively to innovation and high technology for the agricultural sector, including artificial intelligence , robotics, automation, IoT, biotechnology, and precision agriculture.

The combined format will allow the entire spectrum of solutions for Russian farmers to be presented at one time and in one place—from traditional technologies to future developments.

The exhibition's total display area will cover more than 65,000 square meters and attract over 30,000 professional visitors from Russia, neighboring countries, and beyond.
