March 30 this year on the initiative of the Polish Chamber of Commerce of Agricultural Machines and Facilities and the Department of Trade and International Cooperation of the Ministry of Development, Labor and Technology, an on-line meeting was held to support the foreign expansion of agricultural machinery manufacturers.

The meeting was attended by 34 participants from several companies, mainly manufacturers of agricultural machinery. During the meeting, several important aspects were discussed, important for companies operating on foreign markets or those that are just planning to expand to foreign markets.
The first topic discussed was the results of the industry’s exports in the last decade and in 2020. Then, the instruments for supporting companies and promoting the agricultural machinery industry on foreign markets were discussed (MRPiT, PAIH, PARP offer). Lowering the costs of importing supplies, elimination of barriers to access to non-EU markets, protection against unfair imports, free trade agreements, KUKE insurance support and BGK financial support, factoring KUKE Finance and IDA were other topics that were presented to the members of our Chamber. The penultimate issue that the employees of the ministry presented to the participants of the meeting was the presentation of the new Access2Markets portal as a source of information on import conditions to individual non-EU countries. Finally, the possibilities of participating in tenders of international organizations were presented.
The meeting was very fruitful. It presents many practical tips and information that can be used in the daily activities of entrepreneurs. We would like to thank the employees of the Ministry of Development, Labor and Technology for their commitment and time. It was the first meeting of this type with ministry, but if needs arise on the part of member companies, there is a possibility of further information exchange.
