Positive mood ahead of Moscow fairs

Gardentool Moscow is to be staged for the fifth time from 1 – 4 March 2011. Euroexpo, the organisers, see a high level of potential for growth in the gardening sector. IVG, the German association for the garden industry, is one of the sponsors of the fair. The last event attracted 6 000 visitors, 40 per cent from the wholesale and retail trade and 20 per cent from the specialist trade. Euroexpo is also optimistic about Mitex, the Moscow International Tool Expo from 9 – 12 November 2010. In fact, the organisers say the event is almost fully booked already.
