Besides, the main benefit of this exhibition for us is to be a meeting center with our old customers and to serve as an opportunity to present the newly designed equipment to the companies with investment plans in the sector. From this point of view, we consider this exhibition as a nice opportunity and exciting activation for us. We were excited to see companies from many different countries from many different categories participating in the exhibition. Agrobusiness includes agriculture and animal husbandry together and is one of the most popular fields in the world. And I am convinced that this exhibition also has a remarkable characteristic in that respect. We came to this exhibition three days after a fair organized in Uzbekistan. Turkey has become a point of attraction for substantial investors in all sectors with the always rising economic momentum, especially in the last twenty years. If you consider the momentum of the country in the rapidly growing livestock sector, and as a manufacturer, we have had the opportunity to meet the customers from a wide portfolio in this exhibition because of the fact that we are the producer of machi- nery and equipment in both agriculture and livestock machinery and equipment as well as food industry.
