Bologna’s EIMA International will introduce European industry professionals to the 23rd edition of the International Konya Agriculture Fair, which Tüyap is preparing for April 2027. The event will unite digital technologies, agricultural machinery and cross-border trade in Konya, Türkiye’s agricultural capital.
Konya, Türkiye: The 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair is scheduled for 6-10 April 2027, with the Konya Chamber of Commerce Tüyap Konya International Fair Center as its venue. Organised by Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc., the gathering will draw international buyers, technology providers and agricultural machinery makers under one roof.
The fair enjoys the support of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Türkiye and the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (TARMAKBİR), alongside Selçuk University, Konya Metropolitan Municipality, the Konya Chamber of Industry and the Konya Chamber of Commerce. These partners anchor the fair in the region’s manufacturing, farming and academic communities.
A city of farmland and machine makers
Konya holds more agricultural land than any other part of Türkiye and stands among the country’s foremost hubs for producing agricultural machinery. Through the exhibition, this manufacturing strength is connected to distributors, buyers and agricultural enterprises seeking suppliers of equipment and technology.
“Konya combines agricultural production with a strong machinery manufacturing industry. Through the fair, we aim to bring these capabilities closer to international buyers, including European importers and distributors,” remarked Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. General Manager İlhan Ersözlü. “Our focus is on creating opportunities for manufacturers to establish business relationships and reach new markets.”
The AgriFuture Stage and the Start-up Area
The full sweep of agricultural mechanization takes centre stage, spanning tractors, planting equipment and harvesting machinery through to balers, soil preparation systems and crop protection systems.
Alongside these sit irrigation equipment, livestock technologies, agricultural software, environmental services and renewable energy solutions, so that proven machinery and emerging production technologies share a single exhibition.
The AgriFuture Stage returns, staging panel sessions and seminars that feature industry specialists and participants from abroad. Discussion will centre on the forces reshaping agricultural production, technology and the future of the sector.
A dedicated Start-up Area will present technologies and solutions devised by agricultural entrepreneurs in Türkiye, creating another meeting ground where young companies can engage seasoned professionals from the industry.
