Ahead of the 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair in April 2027, Tüyap is preparing to draw agricultural machinery, digital tools and international commerce together in Konya, widely described as Türkiye’s agricultural capital. Word of the exhibition will reach European industry professionals 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 venue. Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc., which is organising the event, wants it to serve as a meeting ground for agricultural machinery producers, technology suppliers and overseas buyers.
Support for the exhibition is provided by Türkiye’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (TARMAKBİR), together with Selçuk University, Konya Metropolitan Municipality, Konya Chamber of Industry and Konya Chamber of Commerce. Through these partners, the fair is anchored in the region’s manufacturing, farming and academic life.
Agricultural production meets machinery making
Home to the largest expanse of agricultural land in Türkiye, Konya is also one of the country’s principal centres for agricultural machinery production. Through the exhibition, that industrial base is linked to distributors, buyers and farming businesses looking for 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,” explained İlhan Ersözlü, the General Manager of Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. “Our focus is on creating opportunities for manufacturers to establish business relationships and reach new markets.”
Irrigation systems join the exhibition
The show will span the whole spectrum of agricultural mechanization, from tractors and planting equipment to harvesting machinery, balers, soil preparation systems and crop protection systems.
Livestock technologies, irrigation equipment, environmental services, agricultural software and renewable energy solutions will also feature, placing proven machinery alongside emerging production technologies under one roof.
The AgriFuture Stage is back, hosting panels and seminars at which sector specialists and international participants will discuss shifts in technology and farm production and where the sector is heading.
A dedicated Start-up Area will give agricultural entrepreneurs in Türkiye room to showcase their technologies and solutions, opening another channel between young companies and long-established professionals in the industry.
The Konya fair heads to Bologna for EIMA
At its 2026 edition, the fair drew 431 exhibitors along with visitors from approximately 100 countries, among them buyer delegations from 23 countries. Sector professionals also came from all 81 Turkish provinces, underlining the exhibition’s reach both domestically and internationally. In 2027 the fair will occupy 96,000 square metres across 6 halls, plus foyer areas and an open-air exhibition zone.
Konya Agriculture intends to take part in EIMA International, held in Bologna, Italy, on 10-14 November 2026, as one strand of its overseas promotion. There, it hopes to show European industry representatives what Türkiye can offer in agricultural machinery manufacturing, stressing both its competitive pricing and the country’s strategic geographical position.
