Astra Agricultural Construction Alliance and the Latifundist.com national agricultural portal announce a photo and video competition, “In the Footsteps of the III All-Ukrainian Astra Show”.

Just for you, dear readers, we’ve prepared unique little gifts.

So, grab a camera, a video camera, or a smartphone, and on 4-6 June come along to “Astra Show 2014” at VDNH.
