Preparations by Tüyap for its 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair in April 2027 will unite farm machinery, digital technologies and cross-border trade in Konya, regarded as the agricultural capital of Türkiye. European industry professionals will learn about the show when it is presented at EIMA International in Bologna.
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. Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. is organising the event, which will link international buyers and technology providers with makers of agricultural machinery.
Backing for the exhibition comes from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Türkiye and the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (TARMAKBİR), alongside Selçuk University, the Konya Metropolitan Municipality, the Konya Chamber of Industry and the Konya Chamber of Commerce, ties that anchor the fair in regional farming, academic and manufacturing institutions.
Machinery manufacturing in Konya
Holding the largest area of agricultural land in Türkiye, Konya also ranks among the principal hubs where the country produces agricultural machinery. At the exhibition, this industrial base meets distributors, buyers and farm businesses looking for suppliers of technology and equipment.
“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,” explained İlhan Ersözlü, who serves as General Manager of Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. “Our focus is on creating opportunities for manufacturers to establish business relationships and reach new markets.”
Irrigation equipment among the technologies on show
Agricultural mechanization forms one strand of the show, spanning tractors and planting equipment through harvesting machinery and balers to systems for crop protection and soil preparation.
Renewable energy solutions, environmental services, agricultural software, livestock technologies and irrigation equipment will be on display too, so that newer production technologies and conventional machinery share a single exhibition.
Returning for this edition, the AgriFuture Stage will host seminars and panels featuring international participants and specialists from the industry. Talks will centre on the developments shaping technology, agricultural production and the future of the sector.
Agricultural entrepreneurs in Türkiye will present the technologies and solutions they have developed in a dedicated Start-up Area, offering a further point of contact between young firms and seasoned industry professionals.
Outreach to Europe begins in November
When it was held in 2026, the fair drew 431 exhibitors along with visitors from approximately 100 countries, among them buyer delegations from 23 countries. Attendance by industry professionals from all 81 Turkish provinces underlined how widely the exhibition reaches, both at home and abroad. For 2027, 96,000 square metres will be occupied, covering foyer areas, outdoor exhibition space and 6 halls.
To raise its international profile, Konya Agriculture intends to take part in EIMA International, held in Bologna, Italy, on 10-14 November 2026. There, it will put the manufacturing capabilities of Türkiye in agricultural machinery before European industry representatives, drawing attention to the strategic geographical position and competitive pricing the country offers.
