This year, “Astra” took part in the All-Ukrainian Dairy Congress for the first time, organised with support from the Milk Producers Association of Ukraine. The congress lasted two days.
On the first day, a plenary session was held at the Ukrainian House in the centre of Kyiv (2 Khreshchatyk St), after which participants worked in various sections.
On the second day, congress participants visited two farms – “Vitchyzna” LLC (Sumy region, Konotop district, Shpotivka village, 970-head dairy herd, 6600 kg yield) and “Avanhard” PSE (Chernihiv region, Bakhmach district, Kurin village, 610-head dairy herd, 6500 kg yield).

“Astra” served as a special sponsor of this event. At the congress, we promoted machinery well suited for effective use in livestock farming:
– Manitou telescopic loaders
– Challenger balers
– twine for balers.
Two Manitou MLT 731 loaders were placed in front of the Ukrainian House entrance – making the machinery impossible to miss.
Thanks to our participation in the congress, we were able to provide information and make offers to around 500 potential customers (many of whom already use a Manitou loader and are very happy with its performance).

Congress participants saw the Manitou not only in front of the Ukrainian House, but directly at work too – at the “Vitchyzna” LLC farm.
