Konya is poised to become the epicenter of agricultural technological advancement as Türkiye prepares to host its premier agricultural exposition in April 2026. The 22nd International Konya Agriculture, Agricultural Mechanization and Field Technologies Fair will convene at the Tüyap Konya International Fair Center from April 7-11, establishing itself as the nation’s most significant gathering for agricultural innovation and cross-border collaboration.
Organized through a strategic partnership between Tüyap Exhibitions Group and the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (TARMAKBİR), the event builds upon its remarkable 2025 achievement of attracting 251,000 visitors from 80 nations alongside 432 exhibitors representing 20 countries. This demonstrates the fair’s growing international significance within global agricultural circles.
The 2026 edition occupies an expansive 96,000 square meter exhibition space, featuring cutting-edge agricultural technologies ranging from precision farming systems and smart irrigation solutions to advanced harvesting equipment and sustainable farming applications. The comprehensive showcase highlights Türkiye’s sophisticated industrial capabilities while addressing the pressing agricultural modernization needs of MENA nations.
Water-stressed Middle Eastern and North African countries facing population growth and food security challenges represent a particularly crucial market segment. The event specifically targets agricultural professionals, investors, and public sector representatives from 17 MENA countries including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Qatar, and Morocco through structured B2B matchmaking sessions and technology demonstrations.
Supported by Türkiye’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Turkish Chamber of Agriculture, Konya Metropolitan Municipality, and Konya Chamber of Commerce, the fair creates an unparalleled platform for knowledge exchange, technology transfer, and international partnership development. Visitors can explore the complete spectrum of agricultural mechanization from established equipment to revolutionary smart farming technologies during the five-day event.
The strategic timing and location in Konya—Türkiye’s agricultural heartland—positions this event as a critical nexus for global agricultural stakeholders seeking to leverage technological innovation for enhanced food system resilience and sustainable farming practices across regions.
