International trade, digital technologies and agricultural machinery will converge in Konya, Türkiye’s farming capital, when Tüyap’s 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair opens in April 2027. Ahead of that, European professionals will hear about it 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. Organiser Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. aims to link international buyers, technology suppliers and agricultural machinery makers.
Backing comes from Türkiye’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and from the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (TARMAKBİR). Selçuk University, Konya Metropolitan Municipality, the Konya Chamber of Industry and the Konya Chamber of Commerce are also lending support, tying the event to regional academic, farming and manufacturing bodies.
Connecting Konya’s makers with buyers
Türkiye’s largest expanse of agricultural land lies in Konya, a city that also ranks among the nation’s main hubs for producing agricultural machinery. Through the exhibition, this manufacturing base meets distributors, buyers and farming companies seeking technology and equipment suppliers.
“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,” İlhan Ersözlü, the General Manager of Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc., explained. “Our focus is on creating opportunities for manufacturers to establish business relationships and reach new markets.”
Agricultural software gains visibility
Agricultural mechanization will be covered in full, taking in tractors, planting equipment, harvesting machinery and balers as well as systems for soil preparation and crop protection.
Visitors will also find irrigation equipment, livestock technologies and agricultural software, alongside renewable energy solutions and environmental services, so established machinery and new production technologies share one exhibition floor.
Returning for this edition, the AgriFuture Stage will host seminars and panels featuring international participants and specialists from the industry. Topics will centre on changes shaping agricultural production, technology and the future of the sector.
Technologies and solutions created by Türkiye’s agricultural entrepreneurs will be on show in a dedicated Start-up Area, offering a further point of contact between new ventures and experienced industry professionals.
Konya Agriculture at EIMA International
Last time, in 2026, the fair drew 431 exhibitors and welcomed visitors from approximately 100 countries, buyer delegations from 23 countries among them. Attendance by sector professionals travelling from all 81 Turkish provinces underlined the exhibition’s reach at home and abroad. For 2027, the event will spread across 96,000 square metres in 6 halls plus outdoor exhibition space and foyer areas.
To promote the fair internationally, Konya Agriculture plans to exhibit at EIMA International in Bologna, Italy, on 10-14 November 2026. There, it will present Türkiye’s agricultural machinery manufacturing strengths to European industry representatives, emphasising competitive pricing and the country’s strategic geographical position.
