In Konya, widely regarded as Türkiye’s agricultural capital, Tüyap is readying its 23rd International Konya Agriculture Fair, due in April 2027, uniting digital technologies, farm machinery and trade across borders. European sector professionals will be introduced to 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 as the venue. Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. is organising the event, which will bring together farm machinery makers, technology providers and buyers from abroad.
Backing for the exhibition comes from the Turkish Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (TARMAKBİR) and Türkiye’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, together with Selçuk University, Konya Metropolitan Municipality, the Konya Chamber of Industry and the Konya Chamber of Commerce, a line-up that connects the fair with the region’s academic institutions, farming and industry.
Konya links crop growers with equipment makers
No part of Türkiye has more agricultural land than Konya, and the city also ranks among the nation’s leading hubs for making agricultural machinery. The fair brings this manufacturing base face to face with distributors, buyers and farming businesses in search of 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,” said İlhan Ersözlü, who serves as General Manager of Tüyap Konya Fairs Inc. “Our focus is on creating opportunities for manufacturers to establish business relationships and reach new markets.”
A broad programme beyond agricultural machinery
Agricultural mechanization is part of the exhibition, with everything from tractors and planting equipment through to balers, harvesting machinery, crop protection and soil preparation systems on show.
Visitors will also find renewable energy solutions, environmental services, agricultural software, livestock technologies and irrigation equipment, so conventional machinery and newer production technologies share a single exhibition floor.
Panels and seminars return on the AgriFuture Stage, with specialists from the industry and international participants taking part. Their discussions will turn to developments shaping agricultural production and technology, and to where the sector is heading.
Technologies and solutions created by Türkiye’s agricultural entrepreneurs will be on display in a dedicated Start-up Area, giving young companies a further place to meet established professionals from the industry.
Presenting Konya to EIMA International exhibitors
Visitors came from approximately 100 countries to the 2026 edition, which welcomed 431 exhibitors and buyer delegations from 23 countries. Industry professionals also travelled in from all 81 Turkish provinces, showing the event’s reach at home and abroad. For 2027, the exhibition will spread across 96,000 square metres, taking in outdoor display space, foyer areas and 6 halls.
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 designed to show European industry representatives what Türkiye can offer in agricultural machinery manufacturing, with emphasis on the country’s competitive pricing and its strategic geographical position.
