On March 10, the 21st Kazakhstan Astana International Agricultural Exhibition officially kicked off at the Astana Expo Campus. As one of the most influential agricultural events in Central Asia, the exhibition gathered many of the world's leading agricultural machinery manufacturers.Shandong Star Agricultural Equipment Co., Ltd. presented its core products at Booth 727. With excellent product performance and professional full-process mechanization solutions, the company became one of the most eyefocused highlights at the exhibition.

On the first day of the exhibition, the Star booth (Booth 727) attracted a large crowd, with a steady stream of merchants coming for inquiries and negotiations.

The star product on display, the 2CM-4 Potato Planter, drew the attention of professional agricultural customers from various countries. It can perform a series of operations in a single pass, including furrowing, planting, ridging, fertilizing, and spraying.

In response to the characteristics of short spring planting cycles and high requirements for uniform plant spacing in Central Asia, our technicians demonstrated the core technical advantages of this model in achieving standardized planting on site. After learning more about the equipment, many farmers stated that its planting accuracy and working efficiency perfectly meet the needs of local large-scale mechanized planting.

In addition to planting equipment, Sidaier's newly developed 170F Potato Combine Harvester and 170G Potato Combine Harvester also received many inquiries from professional customers. Many customers came to learn about the equipment, gathered around the product materials and demonstration screens, and asked in detail about the machine’s harvesting efficiency, impurity content, and terrain adaptability. The harvesting technology of these two new models fully takes into account the local topographical characteristics of Kazakhstan — whether in flat large-scale farms or slightly undulating hilly fields, they can achieve low-damage and high-precision harvesting operations.

At the exhibition, Mr. Yang Xiaoguang, Vice President of Marketing of our company, stated:

"Kazakhstan is an important agricultural country along the Belt and Road Initiative, with a vast area dedicated to potato cultivation. We have learned that local customers not only focus on the precision of the planting process, but also attach great importance to loss reduction and storage after harvesting.The strong interest in the new combine harvesters such as the 170F and 170G further confirms the market’s urgent demand for high-efficiency and highly adaptable harvesting equipment.Star can provide a full-process mechanization solution covering 'tillage, planting, protection, harvesting, transportation, storage and topdressing', which is our competitive advantage distinguishing us from single-equipment suppliers."

As an important step for Star to further develop the Central Asian market, our participation in this exhibition has not only enhanced our brand influence in the region but also laid a solid foundation for establishing a more complete sales and service network in the future.Meanwhile, through in-depth communication with customers from various countries, we have gained insights into the actual demands of local spring planting, harvesting, and storage, as well as the local planting patterns and agronomic characteristics.

We will integrate this information into our product research and development and intelligent manufacturing to ensure that Chinese agricultural machinery better adapts to and serves local farmland.
