Konya, regarded as Türkiye’s agricultural capital, will host the 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair in April 2027, where Tüyap is drawing together farm machinery, digital technologies and cross-border trade. European industry professionals will hear about the event 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 serving as its venue. Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. is organising the event, which is designed to bring makers of agricultural machinery, technology suppliers and buyers from abroad into contact.
Backing for the exhibition comes from Türkiye’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (TARMAKBİR), alongside the Konya Chamber of Commerce, Konya Chamber of Industry, Konya Metropolitan Municipality and Selçuk University. Their involvement ties the fair closely to the region’s manufacturers, its farming community and the academic world.
Konya’s industrial base supports the fair
With the largest expanse of agricultural land in Türkiye, Konya also ranks among the nation’s leading hubs for producing agricultural machinery. Through the exhibition, that manufacturing base meets distributors, buyers and farming enterprises in search of 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,” İlhan Ersözlü, General Manager of Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc., explained. “Our focus is on creating opportunities for manufacturers to establish business relationships and reach new markets.”
Irrigation equipment joins the exhibition list
Agricultural mechanization is part of the exhibition, spanning tractors and balers, harvesting machinery and planting equipment, as well as systems for soil preparation and crop protection.
Visitors will also find renewable energy solutions, environmental services, agricultural software, livestock technologies and irrigation equipment, so that traditional machinery and new production technologies share a single exhibition floor.
Returning for this edition, the AgriFuture Stage will host seminars and panels featuring sector specialists alongside participants from overseas. Talks will examine the trends shaping farm production and technology, as well as where the industry is heading.
Agricultural entrepreneurs in Türkiye will present the solutions and technologies they have developed in a dedicated Start-up Area, which offers a further point of contact between young companies and seasoned industry professionals.
A November showcase ahead of April 2027
In 2026, the fair drew 431 exhibitors, while visitors arrived from approximately 100 countries, among them buyer delegations from 23 countries. Professionals came from all 81 Turkish provinces as well, a sign of how far the event reaches both at home and abroad. The 2027 fair will take up 96,000 square metres, spread over 6 halls together with foyer areas and outdoor exhibition space.
Konya Agriculture intends to promote itself internationally by taking part in EIMA International, held in Bologna, Italy, on 10-14 November 2026. Its presence there is meant to put Türkiye’s agricultural machinery manufacturing strengths before European industry representatives, drawing attention to the country’s strategic geographical position and competitive pricing.
