The fair is composed of hundreds of expositions: the themes include agricultural technology, agricultural products, milking and cattleshed equipment, veterinary commodities and medicaments, fodder, fodder supplements, pedigree breeding, pesticides and fertilizers, insurance and credit, training and counselling.
The first day got a great start with a debate between previous ministers of agriculture and the current minister of rural affairs, Tarmo Tamm. The intense and thorough discussion included all the important and actual topics relating to Estonian agriculture, including supports for organic agriculture, the future of Estonian rural life and the digitalization of Estonian agriculture.
