Konya Agriculture 2026, Türkiye’s largest agricultural and mechanization fair, is set to open April 7–11 at the Tüyap Konya International Fair Center, offering a platform for global agri-business partnerships and the latest farming technologies. The event aims to connect manufacturers, investors, and policymakers, particularly from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), with Türkiye’s industrial and technological capabilities in agriculture.
The fair, organized by Tüyap Exhibitions Group in partnership with the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (TARMAKBİR), expects an expanded roster of exhibitors and international visitors. In 2025, the event drew 251,000 attendees from 80 countries, alongside 432 exhibitors from 20 nations. “This fair is a critical gateway for decision-makers seeking efficient, sustainable, and scalable agricultural solutions,” said a spokesperson for the organizers.
MENA countries, many facing water scarcity and food security challenges, are increasingly adopting precision agriculture, mechanization, and smart farming technologies. Rising populations, changing consumption patterns, and a focus on sustainability make the region a key market for machinery, irrigation systems, and crop management solutions. By providing access to Türkiye’s advanced industrial capabilities, the fair positions itself as a hub for technology transfer and strategic trade partnerships.
Konya Agriculture 2026 will occupy 96,000 square meters, featuring tractors, harvesters, seeding and planting systems, irrigation solutions, precision farming platforms, fertilization and crop protection equipment, and renewable energy applications. Structured B2B sessions, product demonstrations, and matchmaking programs aim to facilitate commercial collaboration between exhibitors and MENA stakeholders. The event receives support from the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Turkish Chamber of Agriculture, Konya Metropolitan Municipality, and Konya Chamber of Commerce.
Industry professionals, distributors, investors, and public sector representatives from Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the UAE, and Yemen are expected to attend. The event will run 09:30–18:00 from April 7–10 and 09:30–17:00 on April 11.
By connecting regional demand with Türkiye’s manufacturing and technology expertise, Konya Agriculture 2026 reflects broader trends in global agricultural modernization. For MENA countries seeking efficiency, sustainability, and food security solutions, the fair offers insight into both established mechanization tools and emerging smart farming innovations.
