25 September , 2017  

KYIV. Sept 25 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The UkrAVTO Corporation, the leading player on the Ukrainian automobile market, is studying consumer demand on tractors of South Korea’s LS, which has not yet been presented in Ukraine, the corporation’s press service reported last week.
According to the report, UkrAVTO presented these tractors at the AGROEXPO 2017 exhibition held in Kropyvnytsky.
“The growing popularity of agricultural forums indirectly indicates that agriculture and the agro-industrial complex are beginning to recover, therefore, UkrAVTO has presented a range of LS tractors for the purpose of studying demand,” the press service said.
The company said that this step looks completely logical and justified, since the agricultural sector begins to show upward pace and has a great potential and prospects for larger development.
“Considering that this is a new brand for the Ukrainian market and this machinery was not presented earlier, the tractor sphere will become a “test ball” for assessing the reaction of potential customers,” UkrAVTO said.
The press service told Interfax-Ukraine that the corporation has not yet announced the information, whether the distribution contract has been signed with the South Korean LS, and other details of cooperation.
