Gornja Radgona, 16 August

The International Agriculture and Food Fair, which will open on 26 August in the eastern town of Gornja Radgona, is starting to recover after several years of decline. The 44th annual event, which is to close on 1 September, will feature 1,530 exhibitors from 25 countries over an area of 58,000 square metres, said the organisers at Wednesday's press conference.

The fair with the motto "Well Cultivated - Well Served" will focus on food, wine, products and equipment for the food processing industry, equipment for the catering industry, seeds and plants, agents for the nutrition and protection of plants and animals, craft products, and agricultural machinery.
The guest country is Austria, while Italy, Serbia, Poland and Belgian Flanders will participate with joint presentations of their countries and regions. Slovenian agriculture and food industry will also unite forces in joint displays.
Livestock displays will be the focus for agriculture experts. The exhibitions include cattle, pigs and horses. The visitors will also get a chance to see a display on beekeeping and exhibitions of fish, poultry, rabbits and Karst Sheepdogs.
Associations and individuals promoting ecological and integrated farming will display the traditional way of making bread and offer products from pumpkins.
The fair will be accompanied by competitions in ploughing, shooting and polka dancing. The organisers will also host a competition for the heaviest pumpkin.
