With April 2027 set for the 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair, Tüyap is uniting digital technologies, agricultural machinery and global trade in Konya, regarded as Türkiye’s agricultural capital. At Bologna’s EIMA International, the event will be introduced to Europe’s industry professionals.
Konya, Türkiye: The 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair is scheduled for 6-10 April 2027, hosted by the Konya Chamber of Commerce Tüyap Konya International Fair Center. Organised by Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc., the gathering is designed to put agricultural machinery makers, technology providers and overseas buyers in the same room.
Backing comes from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Türkiye and the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (TARMAKBİR), together with the Konya Chamber of Industry, the Konya Chamber of Commerce, Konya Metropolitan Municipality, plus Selçuk University, tying the fair to the region’s manufacturers, farmers and academic institutions.
Fields and factories side by side
Konya holds more agricultural land than any other province in Türkiye and counts among the country’s leading centres of agricultural machinery manufacturing. The fair connects this industrial base with buyers, distributors and farming enterprises hunting for 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,” said the General Manager of Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc., İlhan Ersözlü. “Our focus is on creating opportunities for manufacturers to establish business relationships and reach new markets.”
Livestock technology expands the exhibition scope
Agricultural mechanization takes in harvesting machinery, balers, tractors and planting equipment, alongside crop protection and soil preparation systems.
The line-up stretches to irrigation equipment, agricultural software, livestock technologies, environmental services and renewable energy solutions, so proven machinery and emerging production technologies share a single exhibition.
The AgriFuture Stage makes a comeback, offering panels and seminars in which industry specialists and international guests explore the developments shaping technology, agricultural production and the sector’s future.
Agricultural entrepreneurs in Türkiye will showcase their own technologies and solutions in a dedicated Start-up Area, opening one more meeting point between young companies and seasoned industry professionals.
Konya Agriculture plans to showcase in Bologna
Visitors from approximately 100 countries, buyer delegations from 23 countries among them, came to the 2026 edition, which had 431 exhibitors. Industry professionals also arrived from every one of the 81 Turkish provinces, evidence of how far the exhibition reaches domestically and internationally. For 2027, the fair will occupy 96,000 square metres across 6 halls, foyer areas and outdoor exhibition space.
Under its international promotion effort, Konya Agriculture intends to exhibit at Bologna’s EIMA International in Italy from 10-14 November 2026. Its presence there will allow Konya Agriculture to showcase the manufacturing strengths of Türkiye’s agricultural machinery sector before European industry representatives, spotlighting competitive pricing and the nation’s strategic geographical position.
