Infraproject NL-RUS Agricultural  > 2013

In the nineties of the last century an agreement was set between the Soviet Union and the Netherlands for knowledge transfer and cooperation in agricultural development. Due the fall of the Soviet Union this project plan was parked. In 2013, there was the celebration of 400 cooperation ship between Russia and the Netherlands. The so called ‘Holland – Russia Year’. One part of this occasion was that the ‘old’ project is re-installed. Due to our partner Fa. Janssen and due to our participation in the Agriculture Exhibition in Moskou in 2013 , the Mechan-Connect Group is involved now in this project, what now is called : “Infraproject”.  Together with and through  ‘Fa. Janssen Agricultural Business Support’ we are in contact for this project with the Dutch Embassy in Moskou, Agricultural Attaché in the person of Eric Smidt.
