This fair should not be the fair for only important producers or agro-industrialists, but make it possible in the form of sponsorship, donors, by the CSR of important companies or through partner countries to offer stands to small farmer groups. This fair must embody as faithfully as possible the agricultural and rural world of today. This is to allow the rental of agricultural equipment to find customers and to the small farmers’ cooperatives to get to know these service providers better.

Bring wholesalers and local supermarkets (Large traders, Auchan, Casino …) to distribute new products, drum manufacturers, cardboard companies, tarpaulin manufacturers …
