Preparations by Tüyap are under way for the 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair in April 2027, uniting farm machinery, digital solutions and cross-border trade in Konya, Türkiye’s agricultural capital. European sector 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. Makers of farm machinery, technology providers and buyers from abroad will be brought together by the organiser, Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc.
Backing comes from the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (TARMAKBİR) and Türkiye’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, alongside Selçuk University, the Konya Metropolitan Municipality, the Konya Chamber of Industry and the Konya Chamber of Commerce, tying the fair to regional industry, farming and academia.
Konya’s machinery manufacturing base
No province in Türkiye has a larger area of agricultural land than Konya, which also ranks among the country’s leading centres for farm machinery manufacturing. The show puts buyers, distributors and agribusinesses looking for equipment and technology suppliers in touch with that manufacturing base.
“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,” remarked İlhan Ersözlü, General Manager of Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. “Our focus is on creating opportunities for manufacturers to establish business relationships and reach new markets.”
AgriFuture Stage spotlights ideas for tomorrow
Agricultural mechanization will be represented in full, taking in tractors, planting equipment, harvesting machinery and balers, plus systems for soil preparation and crop protection.
Visitors will also find renewable energy solutions, environmental services, agricultural software, livestock technologies and irrigation equipment, placing established machinery and newer production technologies on one show floor.
Panels and seminars featuring sector specialists and participants from abroad will once again fill the AgriFuture Stage, with talks examining developments that shape farm production, technology and the industry’s future.
In a Start-up Area set aside for them, Türkiye’s agricultural entrepreneurs will display the technologies and solutions they have developed, giving young companies and experienced professionals another place to meet.
Building ties with Europe’s machinery sector
At the 2026 edition, 431 exhibitors took part, while visitors arrived from approximately 100 countries, buyer delegations from 23 countries among them. Sector professionals representing all 81 Turkish provinces were also present, showing the event’s reach at home and abroad. For 2027, the fair will cover 96,000 square metres over 6 halls, foyer areas and open-air exhibition space.
Konya Agriculture intends to take part in EIMA International, held in Bologna, Italy, on 10-14 November 2026, as one strand of its promotion abroad. There, the aim is to present Türkiye’s capabilities in manufacturing agricultural machinery to representatives of European industry, drawing attention to competitive pricing and the country’s strategic geographical position.
