Konya, often called Türkiye’s agricultural capital, is set to stage the 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair in April 2027, as Tüyap assembles a gathering where farm equipment, digital tools and international commerce converge. Ahead of that, the fair is to be presented to Europe’s industry professionals at EIMA International in Bologna.
Konya, Türkiye: The 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair is scheduled for 6-10 April 2027, with Konya Chamber of Commerce Tüyap Konya International Fair Center serving as its venue. Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. is the organiser, and the fair will gather agricultural equipment manufacturers, technology vendors and overseas purchasers under one roof.
Support for the exhibition is provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Türkiye and TARMAKBİR, the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association, as well as Selçuk University, Konya Metropolitan Municipality, Konya Chamber of Industry and Konya Chamber of Commerce. Collectively, these backers anchor the fair in the region’s academic, agricultural and industrial bodies.
Why Konya matters to global agriculture
Konya holds the largest area of agricultural land in Türkiye and counts among the country’s foremost centres of farm machinery manufacturing. The fair gives this industrial cluster a route to buyers, distributors and agricultural enterprises in search of equipment and technology providers.
“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,” noted Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. General Manager İlhan Ersözlü. “Our focus is on creating opportunities for manufacturers to establish business relationships and reach new markets.”
Digital farming tools feature across the halls
Under mechanization, the line-up runs from tractors and planting equipment to harvesting machinery, balers, soil preparation systems and crop protection systems.
Irrigation equipment, livestock technologies, agricultural software, environmental services and renewable energy solutions will also feature, letting long-standing machinery sit alongside emerging production technologies in the same halls.
The AgriFuture Stage is back with a programme of panels and seminars, uniting industry experts with international attendees. Discussions will cover trends in agricultural production and technology, as well as the sector’s future direction.
A dedicated Start-up Area will present technologies and solutions developed by agricultural entrepreneurs in Türkiye, opening another channel for emerging firms to meet experienced industry figures.
EIMA International becomes a gateway to Europe
The 2026 fair drew 431 exhibitors along with visitors from approximately 100 countries, buyer delegations from 23 countries among them. Industry professionals came, too, from every one of the 81 Turkish provinces, showing the fair’s national pull as well as its international draw. The 2027 edition will occupy 96,000 square metres, comprising 6 halls, foyer spaces and an open-air exhibition area.
To promote the fair internationally, Konya Agriculture intends to join EIMA International, taking place in Bologna, Italy, from 10-14 November 2026. Through that participation, Konya Agriculture aims to showcase Türkiye’s agricultural machinery manufacturing strengths to European industry representatives, emphasising competitive pricing and a strategic geographical position.
