At the end of January 2025, Moscow once again became the focal point for professionals in the agricultural sector. From January 22 to 24, the International AGROS 2025 Exhibition took place at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center, bringing together more than 800 companies from 25 countries and attracting over 20,000 specialists from across Russia and the EAEU countries.

The exhibition covered a wide range of topics, including breeding, feed, veterinary medicine, and modern technologies in livestock farming, pig farming, poultry farming, and feed production. The event was held with the active support of relevant departments of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, as well as leading industry associations and organizations.

For LAKRUA, participating in AGROS 2025 was a significant milestone. Our booth became a platform where visitors had the opportunity to learn about the company’s products in detail and receive expert consultations from our technical specialists. We showcased both our traditional products and the latest innovations from the LAKRUA brand: LAKRUA® Amino organic trace elements and LAKRUA® organic acids. These products have already proven to be reliable and effective tools for improving the productivity of farm animals.

However, AGROS 2025 was not just about showcasing products—it was about communication, exchanging experiences, and discovering new ideas. We take pride in the fact that our participation in the exhibition allowed us to hold numerous meetings, both with our long-term partners and with new companies we had not worked with before. Each of these meetings represents a new step toward strengthening our market position and expanding our supply geography.

A special highlight of our participation was the collaboration with our partners Angel Yeast and Addeasy Group. We are proud to represent their products in the EAEU market, including yeast-based feed additives derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and organic acids.

AGROS 2025 not only provided us with new connections but also brought us inspiration. We witnessed the genuine interest of visitors in our booth, heard sincere positive feedback, and felt the keen attention to our products. This motivates us to move forward, seek new solutions, and continue developing.

AGROS 2025 was more than just a platform for showcasing products—it was a vibrant, dynamic environment filled with energy, meetings, and exchanges that left a lasting impression on all its participants. For LAKRUA, it was yet another confirmation that we are on the right path.

On April 23, 2020, Lakrua donated a HAMILTON-C3 ventilator worth $ 62,786 to the Intensive Care Unit of the 6th Clinical Hospital in Minsk for treatment of the patients with COVID-19. In these difficult times for society, our company could not stand aside. Like many others, we do our best to help people.
COVID-19 affects the lungs in about 20% of cases, and patients can quickly develop severe illness that features pneumonia and respiratory failure.
Such patients need to be ventilated to maintain high oxygen levels until their lungs can function in a normal way again as they recover.
An increased number of patients who need to be ventilated at the same time became a real challenge for the healthcare system in many countries.
Having more ventilators in a hospital can increase the chance of saving every patient who needs respiratory support.

We believe that our help can save someone's life.

After a relative lull that occurred in most countries in July-August, by mid-to-late September, the statistics of new cases of COVID-19 infection again rushed dangerously upward - and soon surpassed the peak spring rates.

Our company continues to support healthcare organizations at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19.

LLC "Lakrua" has purchased and supplied to the 3^rd City Clinical Hospital named after E.V. Klumov   medical equipment:

• blood pressure monitors MICROLIFE;
• syringe pumps DSh-09;
• electrocardiograph SMART.
